Was anyone else talking about a hybrid all-in-one console/portable or the Tegra chip, because I seem to recall taking a lot of flak and attitude from some posters for bringing up both for well over a year now, not just one off guesses. 

I seem to recall you even said the concept of the hybrid was impossible because it would be too similar to the Wii U, well lo and behold. Dual analogs (oh no casuals!) and all. 

Whoopee you made an educated guess. Cookie?

If it's chocolate chip, sure, lol.

If true, I'm hoping it's Microsoft because then that could lead to PC.

What kind of software could Nintendo make for XB/PS that wouldn't cannibalize their sales? Or do you mean more like a deal to allow Sony or MS to use some Nintendo IPs in their games a la Smash?

Developing games for ios and android makes sense from a business perspective because of the ubiquity of smart devices. Everyone has at least one. Having Nintendo IPs appear on those platforms allows them to increase and maintain mindshare among the mainstream. It's a low cost, highly profitable move, and an absolute necessity if Nintendo wants to remain relevant. Same with movies and amusement parks. Bringing their games to xbox and ps is literally the opposite. It would be expensive, time consuming, and cause irreparable harm to their hardware business to have the best versions of their IP's on competing platforms.

We'll see, lol, I expected a lot of NOPES, but I got the exact same response when I suggested a Nintendo hybrid-portable platform over a year ago here.

It wouldn't just be Nintendo making games for Sony or MS, they would have to offer games in return as well.
