All console manufacturers are going to profit much earlier than last gen on their tech. Nintendos for the last two gens has kept their consoles at just above the graphics of the passing generation. The Wii was slightly higher than the seventh generation and the Wii U is slightly higher than the eight. the Problem is the tablet adds to the cost. Nintendo bet on the wrong horse and has already failed at gaining the crowd they wanted for the Wii U. It was supposed to attract the casuals but it didn't so you have a console that close enough in price to the coming next gen consoles and in most cases its going to be overlooked, just like the N64 and Gamecube were because it lacks third party and its a gen behind in graphics. The Wii U failed in their second endeavor which was to gain back the hardcore gamers lost after the SNES era to Sony and of whom Sony has massively increased the marketshare of. Now Microsoft and Sony share that solid share of the market that likes third party titles, FPS and all of those other games. The next gen consoles have already staked their claim on most of those people. Nintendo will profit but they will most likely sell between Gamecube or slightly higher than N64 numbers.
