Nintendo has gone far away from what I think a hardware company should be. I would be very happy if they were only a software company. They took forever making a HD console. The Wii U comes right when the nextbox and PS4 are coming,  both of them are continuing my preference towards making every gen have substantially better visuals.

The handheld market has a lot of games that could be easily played on mobile. And, since most of their games are simple enough to do this (JRPGs mostly) excluding quality shooters, I am thinking they need to make software for mobile. I am all over the mobile potential.  I never was into buying what I perceive as over priced handheld games. Making the games cheaper on moblie platforms would be a benifit to all consumers, as they could be bought by more people rather than limiting the audience by having to own a very limited nintendo handheld that is mostly there for games only.

You quite underestimate the depth of handheld Nintendo games. The point to value retention is that they don't treat the games like throwaway 99 cent trash.

Hard to say it will be at least two years before I can awnser how good DS games play on tablets as they are not my priority and I got a big back log of games to play already. I have played quite a few JRPGs on my tablet and they work great. There are more and more great games every month that are deeper and more than 99 cents , and judging by how many developers are investing in it there will only be more and more of quality and depth all the time.
