I will agree that Nintendo's handhelds are more popular than their consoles but I dont that its such a huge amount that its going to dominate the console.

Wii U, Nov 2012-June 2014 has sold about 6.5 million while In the same time frame 3DS has sold about 20 million.

Wii U is still $299-329 depending on bundle while 3DS is $129-199 and on top of that has a much much larger selection of games. If both devices cost the same and had the same games then I believe sales of the two would be much closer.

It could be much closer but that's not exactly realistic since successful handhelds are usually priced under $180 ... 

And I dont expect Nintendo to release a $299+ console next gen. If they do go for the unified Handheld/console then a believe we could see each being sold for $199 or so. The handheld version being somewhere between Vita & Wii U and the console being somewhere between Wii U & PS4.
