It describes an added challenge, a difficult challenge that almost no developer, much less a third party is goinng to be willing to do for free. Also, he wasn't  necessarily referring to the NX when he said that. It was more of a "wouldn't it be nice if"...  and if fact right after that the interviewer gave an specific example of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Virtual Console which required seperate purchases to play it on both 3DS and Wii U, and Miyamoto kinda shurgged it off and said he'd think about doing it seperately next time.

So I mean, it's kinda disingenous to intentionally take the paragraph out of context, when you and I both know that he wasn't specifically referring to the NX when he said this, and this could quite easily have absolutely nothing to do with the NX.

For those who would like to read the interview themselves:

Except they already to it successfully and lucratively on mobile. They've overcome that challenge. That's why they unified developement studios. That's why the NX is being designed from its genesis to make it easy for developers to make one game on both.

He was very clearly referencing the NX. Let's not start that and pretend that a paragrah that directly references everything we've learned since about the NX plarform isn't actually about the NX platform. Yeah. He must be referencing some other unified platform. Combining development studios must have actually been for extending the 3DS's life another 3 years. "Both devices" must actually be a reference to the Wii U and 3DS. I must be crazy.
