So you saying for instance if had 15 games on 3DS and 10 games on Wii U (thats 25 games) we will have 12 games on NX!? That doesn't make any sense because actually that would be worse support than this gen, and Nintendo said they doing unified platform to have better support for one platform than for two separates. In case of unified platform we could have around 17-20 games for single platform instead 25 games on Wii U and 3DS combine, not 12.

They already said handheld and home console will be like brothers and not totally separate like before, so I expecting that NX handheld and home console will have heavy integration, and they will probably have identical hardware with only difference probably in power.

Like I wrote, its best choice for them and consumers, win-win for everybody.

In what way does it not make sense? Games are taking longer and longer to develop every gen. Just like Wii U +3DS has less 1st party titles than Wii +DS, which in turn has less 1st party titles than Gamecube + GBA.

Home console games also take a lot longer to make than handheld games. I again cannot see where anyone would get confused on this idea. Being that in a unified library every game would have to go through the development time of a home console game, games will take longer.

The only possible way it could be a win-win is if you can explain how any of the top two sentences can be avoided. In a unified library though, you can't.

And I'm saying having heavy integration is exactly what they'll need if they want to get more home consoles sold. So I think we are pretty much on the same page with this.

Yet again I will say a unified software is kind of a win-lose.

Thats true, but point again is that even on NX one unified platform will have better support than two seprate platforms if NX is actually not unified platform and again two separate platforms.

Actually today handheld games take also quite time, because we didnt had so many 3D handhelds games. And again, simple example, making for instance only one Mario Kart game for NX will definitely be faster than making separate Mario Kart for handheld and separate Mario Kart for home console, thats basilcy whole point of unified platform.

I already wrote to you why is win-win situation. Basically nintendo making games for just one platform (we know how Nintendo is struggle to support two different platforms this gen), and consumers have basically almost all Nintendo games available on one device (for instance I don't like handhelds but on NX I could play same games that before would be on handheld only, or some prefer handhelds only but with NX they could play home console games also). So yes, pure win-win.

People who prefer handhelds will buy NX handheld and people who prefer home console will buy NX home console, same like before, but with heavy integration bigger number of people will buy both devices, for instance if NX relly has good integration I would probably buy NX handheld too even dont like handhelds.

So there no one single loose thing.
