Why would Nintendo make another Console after so many failed attempts?

I think the fusion idea is a good one for the simple reason the Nintendo doesn't have enough games to split between two consoles as long as they have relatively bad 3rd party support. If they focused on one system they could easily pump out 4+ big exclusives a year.

The only problem I have with the hybrid idea is that I doubt they can make a console as strong as current gen while also being portable (For a reasonable price of course). Perhaps in about 2 years the tech will be their but they would still be over a generation behind the PS5 in performance. Then again, maybe that will be enough for them...

This year, big NIntendo exclusives. 

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Mario Kart 8

Fatal Frame V (I'm hoping this comes over)

Smash Bros

Hyrule Warriors

Bayonetta 2 (with 1)

Pokemon 

Professor Layton

Ace Attorney (at least on the console side)

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney 

Mario Golf

 

Hell, I would argue they are showing the rest of the industry how to properly price DLC passes (20 dollars for a years worth of content for Hyrule Warriors, and 12 for Mario Kart 8). 

The bolded games are the ones I consider big excluesives.  The rest are simply exclusives that supliment the lack of good 3rd party support.  Notice how your list is split between two systems?   Also keep in mind this list is not indicative of an average year for Nintendo.

 

If anything you cemented my stance that they can only support one system effectively.  It is becoming more and more clear every year that if Nintendo truly wants to cling to this business plan of -  "You must buy our inferior hardware if you want to play our specual games!";  then have to make it so Nintendo fans only need one console to play their "special" games.
