I don`t think Nintendo fans would appreciate being offered two consoles to get the majority - if not all - Nintendo franchises.
Even if that happened it would mean that the Nintendo fanbase would be split in numbers. That would be a bad motivator not only to third parties, who would see less of a userbase per platform, thus less profits per title, as Nintendo itself would get less profits per title as the userbase would be divided.
That`s why having two consoles work as one and being able to share the same games, would be the best motivator for 3rd parties.
As of now both Nintendo consoles have their userbase split. If that "fusion" happens, there`s a high chance that same gap will decrease (specially at low HW prices).
That being, every developer has a bigger potential userbase because since they make one game that can work in 2 platforms. Also it manages to decrease risks and increase potential profit margin per title. Same goes for Nintendo, of course.

The two types would be playable on the same console, it's just a branding idea, it doesn't affect compatibility.

All games would be available on both systems? Wouldn`t that confuse people?
I thought the goal was to divide brands.
