More importantly, I believe this is defensive move on Nintendo's part should Wii U achieve only moderate success similar to Gamecube. They cannot afford to have a failing home and handheld consoles.

Interesting. I'll just say I don't agree with bold, it isn't business realistic.

How does the 3DS getting limelight correlate to Nintendo preparing for the case where WiiU underachieves?

I see 3DS/Wii U in the same position where Gamecube/Gameboy was. Their focus on 3DS is to make it a successful and profitable product the same way Gameboy was, should Wii U fail. Gameboy carried them financially more so than the gamecube did during the sixth gen and they hope to replicate that if Wii U underachieve.
