Absolutely not. Especially considering that the handheld market is going to see heavy declines as smartphones/tablets get stronger and stronger.

The market that made the Wii a success moved to phones/tablets

Handheld market is going towards phones/tablets

 

Nintendo must ditch systems and only make games for phones/tablets confirmed.

It sounds like you're kidding.... but whats funny is that you are right. Well, with exception to the bolded part.

The market that made the wiiU a success has moved over to phones/tablets. Phone/tablets are also filtering out the dedicated handheld space so a lot of people will just get a phone/tablet and be ok with the games they can play on them. thats not saying handhelds won't sell well... just dont expect it to be more than 60M in lifetime sales.

I wasn't (entirely) kidding. They should go third party for the few of their biggest/more advanced titles (technically) and release the rest of their stuff on mobile. It's the smart thing to do.
