the ecosystem is already like that and it aint helping them much (outside of 3ds) so even then thats not helping the lack of 3rd parties, whether we think they are important or not is irrelevant, COD, Fallout 3, Witcher, AC, GTA these series sell and there absence on Ninty systems speak volumes....but COD and AC didnt do great so maybe screw it all is better.

 

No the ecosystem is not already like that, 3DS & Wii U are completely seperate devices that have completely separate libraries so u need to own both platforms to access all the games.

A unified concept solves a lot of the problems. Like I said, 100% support from Nintendo instead of being split up among two platforms, each has good indie support but when combined they get really good indie support, 3DS gets solid Japanese support while Wii U gets very little, both get a decent amount of kid/family titles. Even the Virtual Console lineups are different on 3DS & Wii U.

Basically combine 3DS+Wii U software to get a glimpse at what a unified concept looks like for Nintendo.

 

you combine the software and its pretty much the same thing. both systems have Mario Kart, BOth have 2d mario, 3d Mario, hell the Smashes are pretty much the same game except for a mode or two and a few different levels. Hell there is even a port of Hyrule coming out for 3ds. So are you saying will be getting TWO 2d Marios per gen instead of one? doesnt seem to be that great and that doesnt address the missing 3rd parties since Ninty doesnt make those kind of games that are missing anyway (your Fallouts and GTAs, etc.) i dont think a unified concept would help with that. But if Ninty owners arent buying them anyway...
