This is how I see it. QoL will launch in 2015, and it will not be a gaming platform as we imagine it. At most it'll be something Wii-like, but I doubt it.
The next handheld (which might be something Fusion-like) is set to launch in 2016 (or Spring 2017 at the earliest, but that's doubtful).
The next home console will launch in 2017.
There's one big advantage of having a Fusion console with handhelds and home console integrated; Nintendo isn't a big enough company to produce games for two HD consoles (which the next HH will be). Games these days just requires too much manpower to make, and Nintendo can't make games fast enough as it is today!
But there's one big disadvantage with the Fusion as well; if it bombs both the HH and home console will bomb! That means Nintendo is screwed as a hardware maker altogether.
But I agree that if Nintendo's next consoles (HH/HC) bombs, they will move over to become a 3rd party developer. And I can't believe I'm typing this, but if their next HH and HC bombs I WANT them to go 3rd party...

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
