Now that you mention it, I do think that this "Fusion" console as a whole sounds a lot like the Turbo Express and the Nomad, and realistically speaking what are the alternatives?

I think it'd do well.  Nintendo portables sell well and people always want a consolized version of them, so next gen what Nintendo should do is make a portable that's as powerful as the Wii U, maybe more powerful, then a year later, release the console version.  By releasing the console version at the same time, people would just compare it to the Sony and Microsoft consoles and would brush it off, but by releasing a console version that will play your portable games, people would see it as just that.  They wouldn't compare it to the major consoles on the market.

This way people who want the console can purchase the console, if they want the portable they can purchase the portable.  Devs will only have to develop for one but can sell to both, so Nintendo will get more third party support.  If they have both the console and the portable, since their purchases can play on both people are more likely to purchase more games for the system.
