This wouldn't be too unprecedented either, considering the way the DS was supposed to run along side the gameboy family rather than eclipse it.

Lol. Nah

Nintendo recently confirmed that it would be merging its handheld and console divisions into one single entity this month.

Wait... did they say merging the 3DS with the WIi U?! They LIKE to piss off their fans? Hey, you just spent all your money on the wii u! and 3DS XL! Now we're sending out a Wii U/3DS hybrid! Mawahahahhahah! Only, I read more and thats not what they meant.

we are not saying that we are planning to integrate our platforms into one. we would like to integrate software development methods, operating systems, and built-in software and software assets for each platform so that we can use them across different machines.

So I assumed that they are merely trying to make a way that if someone develops a game on the Wii U, it would work on the 3DS if they do this correctly. But then they go one to say... " This means that if we manage to integrate our platforms successfully, we may in fact be able to make more platforms" Very worrying. clyde, I hope you are right. I hope its a nintendo phone o_o

They are merging the business side of the 3DS and the WiiU not the two gaming products.

Oh a new platform? Thats a shocker.

Oh yeah... in the next five or so years? Makes sense. :P

In all seriousness though it said something about integrating handhelds with consoles. Its very vague to me, but they said it won't be combined.

Maybe something like Vita to PS3? If so... don't do it Ninty.

It also says something about sharing software and other stuff. Eh too early to tell what the hell they are talking about.

The Game market as a stand alone console or handheld will get overwhelmed as Cell phone and tablet gaming get better. Nintendo sees this and as to plan accordingly.

Still think they should start making a cellphone games division that cranks out small titles for extra profit. ;)

As both a hardware and a software company, they kind of have to do both at the same time.

Nintendo has shown interest in the Smart Phone market.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made one.

Nintendo always begins development of a new system shortly after they release one. Most console manufactuers do the same.
