The Wii U is Nintendo's last console (gaming "journalism" at its worst)

The Wii U could be Nintendo's last traditional home console though. It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo decides to go with some kind of home/portable console hybrid in the future, letting them put all their might behind a single platform.

We´ll see, but I don´t think they want to do that.

Their handhelds have always been more successful than their home consoles.

The Gameboy and the NDS sold better than every Nintendo home console ever made, and the GBA only 'lost' to the Wii.

The 3DS, while not coming close to its predecessor, will probably also sell better than the Wii U.

I don't think it'll happen, unless the Wii U becomes a giant money drain. The 3DS is already successful enough.

But if hell freezes over and Nintendo gets into some real trouble they'll probably bite back with a single platform strategy before even thinking about dropping their hardware business. So those wanting Nintendo games on their non-Nintendo platforms better have a lot of patience.
