3DS is selling a lot, competition is not very strong, they have 3rd party support and they have strong 1st party, they can continue for years with slower obsolescence... on long term that's even a better business than Wii was. Also handled console market has many times rebound and made huge profit with a single game like monster hunter or Pokemon, so they have a lot of chances to take higher profits.
It could be enough to make a profit overall, enough to finance Wii U... and in the worst (and far away) case will be enough for Nintendo to continue on 3DS only.
