Essentially, so we may see something like NX Console & NX Portable that share the same architecture & operating system that allows for cross buy/play/save. |
Those quotes from Iwata aren't referencing their libraries though, his comparisons to iOS and Android are that they have a common way of programing that works on various models. That doesn't mean there will be a shared library. If you look at some of Iwata's other statements and remarks, he clearly wants to create an environment where they dont start from scratch development-wise like they do with every launch of new hardware, which causes software droughts in the launch window. Not once does he, nor any Nintendo rep ever mention a "shared library". A shared architecture can imply a shared library, but at this point, no Nintendo rep has ever confirmed this to be true.

But then that places the NX Console in a very compromising position, meaning that it's gonna be intentionally kept VERY underpowered (like, nowhere near PS4 power) just so it could be cross-play with the NX Handheld. Who would wanna play handheld games in higher resolution on a console? There will be no point to the console-version of NX.
