I'm beginning to think honestly short of a miracle gimmick there's not a whole lot they can do with regards to the home console.
If they go the Fusion route, most everyone will likely just buy the portable variant, and the home version will be kind of a side accessorie in effect I think.
I think honestly with the way iOS/Android continues to carve up not only the casual but kids market, Nintendo needs something more drastic than even the Fusion idea.
They should team up with Sony IMO. There's no sense in competing just for the sake of competing, if they can get a sweetheart deal where Sony helps them with portables and they maybe throw a few games/amiibo support to the PS4 (which is going to sell 100 million), it would be for the best of the company. They need to start making money, and working with Sony IMO is a far more desirable avenue then eventually being forced to make $1 smartphone games under duress from shareholder pressure.
They could still make their own portables, perhaps even a Wii/U/PS4 hybrid console, and maybe even get a cut of Sony's licensing fees in return for supporting them. For Sony it's good business too, they need something to make their smartphones stand out, if they could ever get Nintendo to support them in making a gaming phone, they'd be on a very good track and getting Nintendo games would basically effectively shut MS out of the business entirely (they can drop the X1 price all they want, it wouldn't matter).
