They're kinda cannibalizing their own market for short term gain though.
A person who has a 3DS would probably be right to ask "why should I buy a Wii U? I get Mario Kart, Mario 3D, Mario 2D, Smash Bros., Zelda, DKC on my 3DS that gives me my Nintendo franchise fix, I'm not spending $300 on another console for the same franchises".
Also I really do think both NSMB2 and NSMBU were hurt by being released so close to each other.

Your only seeing one side of it. The other side of it is console gamers who have refused to buy handhelds because those are dumbed down games. Now we are seeing very similar games appear on handhelds as we see on home consoles so people who have the home consoles are more likely to expand to own handhelds as well because the software is starting to get on the same quality level as home console software.

I'm one of those.
I had a Gameboy(plus Gameboy color) and gameboy advance(only to play pokémon silver, so Nintendo didn't earn much from me, I blame my age lol), but skipped the DS. I bought the 3DS because of the many good 3d games on the system.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Zelda: ALBW, Pokémon X/Y, Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Resident Evil: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land(didnt like this one all that much actually), Kirby Triple Deluxe, Bravely Default(not my kind of game, but might give it a try when the price drops), etc
