bdbdbd, the only information Iwata ever said about NX is that it's hardware.

 


So everybody just imagined in May 2014 when he said they plan on offering a unified architecture & operating system similar to iOS that will allow for easy porting to and from devices along with the possibilty of increasing the number of form factors and stating they will revolutionize gaming in about two years? Ya that must have been a dream.

Exactly. Iwata said the NX is hardware. Nintendo said, without mentioning NX in particular, that their next consoles will have the same architeture . Nothing about sharing library and certainly not "NX will have a (for the most part) shared library and different form factors for the hardware" as a fact. The only thing about form factors was said that the market would determine it. And he was talking about a handheld and a home console as one form factor each, with the market determining if something else (third pillar) would be necessary, not about the same system having many models. A mix of clear and vague PR words, far away from what you and others are saying.
