so we're still under this fantasy world where Nintendo will:

a- sell a handheld + console in 1 package

b- handheld and console will literally play the same game

c- the console will be very powerful (more than the ps4 according to some)

d- priced in a competitive range (300/400$)

Seriously, that's just borderline lunacy. Does it also serve coffee and preform oral sex? If so maybe i'll join the crazy train...

Nope. Never claimed they would be sold in the same package. I don't think they will be. I think console first, handheld later...but play the same games? Maybe not at the exact same level, but definitely not out of the realm of possibility

NEC already did the playable cards on multiple form factors 25 years ago.

The PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 had multiple form factors (home console and portable and semi-mobile console) that all used the same game cards:

PC Engine Portable (like Game Boy handheld):

PC Engine LT (Semi-Portable Console with LCD display):

All used the same exact cartridges. And this was from the early 1990s! Fun fact: Nintendo actually considered buying the tech behind the PC Engine for the NES/Famicom successor (Super Nintendo) as NEC was (and still is) a close Nintendo manufacturing partner.
