All they're basically saying is we're working on new hardware, which I guarantee Sony and MS are doing right now also. Difference being Nintendo's unified architecture for home and handheld. I think you're going to see something where both are running the same OS with modifications for the platform. I also think they're going to be running stuff from the same architecture family. IE if the home console is an 8 core AMD cpu clocked at X, the handheld will be a dual or four core version running at say 1/4x - 1/2x. That way a title can easily have its art scaled up or down to go with the platform they're going to release it on. They've talked before about a unified architecture, and enabling teams to just be the Mario team or Zelda team, and not the Handheld vs Home team. They've also talked about software advancements or discoveries needing to be easily moved between platforms, and they've flat out said they're not releasing a hybrid system next. So that's my speculation on the whole thing.
