You are still missing the point.

Nintendo has unified game library's from multiple devices before (Mobile on home console etc') and it was never some kind of run-away success.

And the Wii U most certainly is a Hybrid device.

You are missing point.

It's not same if GC could run GBA games (not to mentione that GBA couldnt run GC games), and if you have just one single device for which are developed games bought from all Nintendo handheld and home console teams (that are actualy now merged).

Of Course that Wii U is not hybrid, you cant use Wii U gamepad like real handheld on go, Wii U gamepad is basically Wii U Pro controller with screen in middle, Wii U is just a home console with tablet like controller not hybrid.

We aren't talking about the form factor specifically here.

We are talking about the ability to run two platforms worth of games on a single platform, the form factor of the device is irrellevent... The fact that specific ability has never been attributed to a massive uptick in sales is a very telling fact.

The NX will likely have other attributes that should help it sell, but that specific piece of functionality I am dubious about due to historic precedence.

As for the Wii U, it is a Hybrid, the fact it has a screen in it's controller which allows for games to be played off-screen independent of the Television is a testament to that fact, even if it comes with caveats.
