It might be a surprise to you, but to those of us listening, and not just hearing what we want to hear, that's a different story.

You writing nonsense, it would be surprise for everyone who payed attention what Nintendo was doing and what they were saying (talk about unified platform, fact they admit they can't any more support effectively two different platforms, fact they merge their handheld and home console hardware division, and handheld and home console software divisions..). Its almost certain we will have cheaper and smaller Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play in around 1.5-2 years when 3DS completely dies.

See that's the thing. Everything you're saying is that Nintendo is streamlining its processes, but all of those things you mention don't necessarily point to one console going forward. A new handheld can be based off of the switch's hardware, which wouldn't "effectively be two different platforms". Making two very similar but seperate platforms, that allows for very simple porting between both platforms would accomplish all of Nintendo's objectives in doing all of this streamlining without destroying what has been a lucrative revenue stream.

You're assuming that all of this means that Nintendo is going with one console from this point forward, but that's not necesarily the case.
