Combine the home console with the handheld so the handheld is just an extension of the console, doubling up as a controller a la the gamepad. No separate software development. Both come in the dame box (extra handhelds only purchasable via the home console nintendo dhop and esch handheld having to link with the home console regularly).

This. 

It would prevent software droughts, since Nintendo doesn't have the resources to support two systems without gaps.  It think it would be a success.  I certainly would love to have the ability to take Wii U games on the go instead of just a 30 foot or so range.

Great idea.

Have the Gamepad able to be taken anywhere and play via the internet and have one product rather than a home/handheld console.

Also, Nintendo generally works on a 5-6 year cycle with their consoles, whereas Sony/Microsoft have a slightly longer cycle. This, combined with the fact that Wii U was out a year before the opposition could mean that Nintendo are ready to release a new console 2-3 years before the others, and if they come in with mmore powerful hardware and some killer launch titles the "hardcore" may take notice pretty quickly.
