But fact that I mentioned also point on one unified platform (their 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..).

Only time will prove if I'm right, but I almost certain we will see Switch Mini/Pocket and we will not see another platform that will exist alongside Switch.

Can you give me one quote where anyone talks about "one unified platform"?

I don't think they said specifically "one unified platform", but this Iwata quote is definatly intresting:

"Apple is able to release smart devices with various form factors one after another because there is one way of programming adopted by all platforms. Apple has a common platform called iOS. Another example is Android. Though there are various models, Android does not face software shortages because there is one common way of programming on the Android platform that works with various models. The point is, Nintendo platforms should be like those two examples. Whether we will ultimately need just one device will be determined by what consumers demand in the future, and that is not something we know at the moment. However, we are hoping to change and correct the situation in which we develop games for different platforms individually and sometimes disappoint consumers with game shortages as we attempt to move from one platform to another, and we believe that we will be able to deliver tangible results in the future."
