No, it wouldn't. what makes you think it would sell exactly the same as 3ds and wii u?

you should really stop talking about all this speculation as if it was fact.

what does inneficient teams on other consoles have to do with nintendo's games? Nintendo got a pretty good grip on development with their games.

"They will likely suffer huge delays with software having just gotten the grips of PS3/360 level development"

So you're saying wii u is ps360 level? You're wrong.

"so that the 10-15 million people in the world who really want a "Nintendo PS4" 4-5 years after the PS4 has been out"

And you're saying a wii u successor will only be ps4 level? Also wrong.

You need to take actual facts into consideration when talking about what development policies can and cannot work.

I doubt they learned enough............


They are DUMB af.

Well if people are willing to buy multiple different skus of a handheld (3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS) than why wouldn't they also be willing to buy a version that let's them play on the tv?

people aren't willing to buy multiple sku's of the same handheld, they want a single sku. the only reason some upgrade is because a different model is released AFTER. the concept of the same console divided in a handheld and home console version is flawed because it takes away the value of both (people don't want to have two of the same console).

Nintendo doesn't need to sell two versions. If you want just the handheld, then buy just the handheld. It's up to the consumer. 

And honestly it wouldn't surprise me if a "3DS TV" that played all Nintendo games for say $150, with Virtual Console, and had maybe say 3x the 3DS chip, allowing games to run on the TV at 720p say ... I wouldn't be surprised if that sold the same or better than Wii U.

Wii U is a low bar and it's selling like sh*t. I'm sorry but don't even try to spin like that is selling terribly. They key for the Fusion concept is the home version be a cheap proposition, and using mobile components that Nintendo is already using with their handheld will allow them to get an incredible deal on the chips and keep the price very reasonable (yet another advantage of this approach, you think any of Nintendo's Wii U vendors will give them a break on Wii U parts? Nope, look up economies of scale). 

The main thing for Nintendo is that they can sell their main games to their main userbase, no longer are their best games (usually on console) locked away from their biggest audience (on handheld).

Now that mobile tech has improved exponentially, they can have themselves a nice HD experience at home or away using mobile components, that's the game changer.

I think it all depends on HOW Nintendo make their Fusion console(s); how powerful will both systems be, how will the games work/play on either of the two systems, how will you be able to play the same games on the systems? Will they have any sort of exclusives for the two systems?

There's way too many things we don't know yet for this prediction.

Honestly if Nintendo wanted to cut the bullshit with gimmicks and just focus on power they could still get a pretty damn powerful chip. Chipsets are not what make consoles expensive and they scale down in cost fast if you choose your components wisely (ie: stay away from exotic parts that can only be ordered from one vendor, like Wii U's eDRAM that only Renesas can make ... and now Sony owns them).

The Vita is somewhere about half way between a PS2 and PS3 .... by 2016, mobile tech will start to inch into the "half way between a PS3 and PS4" territory, and since the home version wouldn't be beholden to the same TDP limits as the handheld (as it plugs into a wall) ... it could be a pretty powerful little console.

Maybe it won't win a dick measuring contest with the PS4, but Nintendo likely isn't interested in that anyway.

Nintendo hardware sales are down from every generation (except Wii). I can not imagine that a Nintendo fusion would sell good. Handhelds are dead in the west and home consoles from Nintendo don't sell good anymore.
