To be honest I could see a unified approach actually getting *more* third party support than the "lets make a Nintendo PS4 and a VitaDS and support them with seperate libraries" (which is what most Nintendo fans here expect).

There's no real incentive for third parties to support a "me too" Nintendo console. Between the XBox and Playstation and even the PC, there's more than enough for a third party to feel like they're covering their bases. Making a port for a Nintendo system so people can play the same game in the same way is redundant.

But if you can share games on the go and at home ... well now that gets some third parties interested, because that's something the PS4/XB1/PC can't really do.

If I'm Square-Enix I want a portable + home version of Kingdom Hearts 3. There's a logical and clear incentive to do so, because the NX is different. Same goes for things like FIFA and Madden ... if they can make a portable version of the console games, even if they have to scale it down, then I think that has appeal to EA. 

The question is how much horsepower can Nintendo get into the machine and how far up and down can they scale the graphics, but mobile chips are getting much, much more powerful every year.
