Don't hate on me for not reading all 12 pages, but to respond to the OP...
I don't think this is a feasible plan. Nintendo is working at capacity, if not slightly beyond, and just finished a new building in an attempt to handle what is obviously a lot of work doing two systems (3DS, Wii U). Sony is sort of an example of how hard it is to maintain two systems: the Vita has gone almost unloved other than being an afterthought accessory to the PS4. Nintendo doesn't want to let the Wii U die, and I know they won't (they keep things close to their chest, but I doubt 2015 is going to be as dry of releases as people believe). At WORST, the Wii U will live the old-school standard life-cycle of 5 years, and a new console will be revealed in 2017, and possibly releasing in 2018, giving the Wii U 6 years of support.
