I'm actually starting to feel like a hybrid of some type may be in the offerings.
That doesn't mean one SKU though, there could still be others, but one could be a hybrid/mobile console in effect.
When you really think about it, Nintendo has been chasing that idea for a while.
And put next to a vanilla console and another vanilla handheld ... a hybrid device is much more interesting quite honestly. You can't take the PS4/XB1 with you where ever you go, but you can't play "real" high end games on an iPad/iPhone. You can't take the Wii U outside the house with you or even in most cases outside of the same room.
Being able to move the console around like a portable, have it wirelessly send a video signal to your TV, then being able to to take it out and play on an airplane or subway ... again there isn't really anything like this on the market. It's also a very Japanese idea.
In that case, such a device would be unique to the marketplace. Seems fairly tempting for a company that's searching for a "new concept" hardware.
Maybe that will be Nintendo's mantra for the next-gen to redefine the old concept of what it means to be a hardware platform and blur/completely break the lines between what we today consider "mobile" and "console".
