Yup this is exactly what I think -- the next Nintendo handheld (tablet form factor) will be able to run Wii U engines "reasonably" well. Much closer than the Vita can with PS3 engines. Say 540p resolution at maybe a slightly lower frame rate or something.
This will let them port/or "retool" games like DKC: TF, Mario Kart 8, Smash U, Zelda U, etc. which probably isn't going to make as much profit as they want on Wii U to their new portable platform which will be able to play Nintendo games all the way up from the NES to Zelda U.
There will be a "home dock" that lets you play on your TV if you have the handheld model, and could bump the resolution to 720/1080p too I think.

I don't think that's it. The handheld will still have dual screens, but the next home console will also still have a gamepad. Everything else you said is right, though and applies. Except for the docking thing, obviously.

Dual screens are done. Even the 2DS doesn't technically have two screens (it's just one screen with a plastic divider over it .... you wanna know why? Because dual screens don't have any cost benefit anymore).
Dual screens was a good idea in 2004 when having one large touch panel would've been extremely expensive, so having one small LCD for touch and another one for the display made sense. Or even for the 3DS it made sense, but Nintendo is likely ditching 3D screens as well.

I don't agree. If anything, they've become more permanent now. Dual screens are the future of Nintendo.
