Because, if the NX is the fusion concept in the end, both the console and the handheld will be inexorably connected.So if thats the case, they will need to launch togheter, or at the very least few months apart.But we will need to wait for E3 to see that. |
They need to get people buying both, the handheld and the home console. If you launch both at the same time people will ignore one. If you bundle both, it will be too expensive. So they need to launch both at different times. Ideally at the end of the year because sales will be the strongest then. So one November 2016 and one November 2017. An no, it won't be a fully fusion system. Iwata has already denied that long ago. Of course they will work closer together then ever before, but the won't be replacable by each other. There will still be exclusive home console games and exclusive handheld games. Even the unified system has the reason to avoid software gaps after launch because Nintendo can easily port games to the other system. That was all said by Iwata.
