And it's also pretty clear that Nintendo plans on unifying their platforms to offer a family of devices rather than single isolated platforms. People who don't believe that are in denial.

Why should I be denial if Iwata has already denied a fusion platform?

 

"Still, I am not sure if the form factor (the size and configuration of the hardware) will be integrated. In contrast, the number of form factors might increase. Currently, we can only provide two form factors because if we had three or four different architectures, we would face serious shortages of software on every platform. To cite a specific case, Apple is able to release smart devices with various form factors one after another because there is one way of programming adopted by all platforms. Apple has a common platform called iOS. Another example is Android. Though there are various models, Android does not face software shortages because there is one common way of programming on the Android platform that works with various models. The point is, Nintendo platforms should be like those two examples. Whether we will ultimately need just one device will be determined by what consumers demand in the future, and that is not something we know at the moment."

I believe this is what ur referring to, in which case u would be wrong, he never denies anything and is very heavily implying a unified concept where software is shared among multiple hardware configurations.

No. I was referring to that "The architecture will be similiar, so we can easily port games to other platforms to fill launch gaps". Or something like that he said. Translated: There will be a dedicated portable and a dedicated home console, but both have a similiar structure, so that ports are easy to make.

So where is the part where Iwata denies anything?
