And making 2 seperate libraries and being forced to make basically the same franchises twice for two different platforms is easier? Nintendo's next portable will effectively kill the console + handheld relationship that Nintendo has had simply because it's not feasible for Nintendo to basically support two distinct consoles (yes the portable IS a console going forward for all intents and purposes because the portable games will be require such high resources). A Vita-to-Wii U level portable and a PS4 level console Is not feasible. Nintendo cannot support both. Sony is barely just now getting their 1st/2nd party PS4 support going and they don't really even support the Vita. And Nintendo's known this for a while IMO. That's where the NX concept was birthed from and at the heart of why it's a "new concept".

OMG, did you even read? They will have a distinct handheld and a home console. More versions of one or the other (like your "4k model example") are redundant for the audience and would need more money to optimize the games.
Why would they make the same franchise twice for two platforms? Getting major multiplayer titles like MK, smash, splatoon, animal crossing + smaller 3d and 2d titles on both portable and home console with cross buy and online multiplayer is feasible and smart. Each system should still have it's own big exclusives.
edit: Just a reminder that the next portable won't have wii u power and the next home console will be a significant jump from ps4.
