hmm, that doesn't put the fusion rumor to rest though..

Will just have to find out tomorrow

i agree, but it does put in rest the notion of  nx replacing also 3ds... If 3ds was about to be replaced why then NX is being called a home gaming system?

 

Because as I aforesaid NX could be  a powerful wii u, with the tablet contoller being an autonomus portable device with a game slot or nx just a robust home console that will connect with a 3ds successor! These are not really meaning fusion! However, if that tablet controller is what I say, why not also replacing 3ds... Being sold both separately and bundled with the home system?  Wouldn't it be superfluous to make a 3ds successor when the home consoles's controller is also a handheld console?

I don't know what to think! lol

Although, the may want to continue the separate game library, I mean Mario kart 9 on home console, and Mario kart 10 on handheld console, fearing that shared games wouldn't sell as much as two different games of same ip! However, it might replace 3ds but it would be promoted just as a home gaming device that has a portable console/tablet controller that allows you two play the game that you were play in your home, sitting on sofa, anywhere outside/inside home, meaning that Nintendo  technically abandons handheld console market though, at least in the traditional way!

Shared game library has surely  much benefits like software quantity and developing quality!

Yes, there is a high chance this could be a fusion system, since it also matches with what Masuda saying that the main Pokemon games will continue on handheld (unless he's talking about mobile or something crazy)

Shared game library has great benefits, but I do worry about 2 things if this indeed a fusion
- Power
- Price

Power isn't everything, but it does play a big role in helping get support. So while I wouldn't be against a fusion concept, I definitely will remain skeptical if it is..
