What use would any of these have on a phone that would compare in any way to the jump from flip phones to smart phones?

Have you not seen those Samsung videos?

The use of a folding screenw oudl be that you could have a tablet sized phone fold in half to be the size of a normal phone to fit in your pocket.

The use of a screen that rolls up woudl be so that you could have it roll into a pen like size and more easily again fit into a pocket or purse or something.

Here is a video from like 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRSGzfz6zwI 

Would those concepts not be cool?

Phones can already fit in your pockets.

Yes they can, but the point is you could fit say a tablet with a 17" screen in your pocket.

Nintendo's flagship product?  Sure.

Something they can just redesign over time instead of a new console?  I don't know about that - historically we've always seen ~5 year "leaps" in consoles.  If you take no action, you may be left behind.

A console generation is also your chance to reset.  Who would imagine that Wii U could fail so miserably after Wii?  Who would have thought that Switch could bounce back so beautifully, or that Wii could do so well after the constant decline from NES to GameCube?
