The big takeaway from this gen that I think Nintendo is going to take to heart is that their next handheld is going to have to be able to scale in cost quickly so that it can quickly make a profit and they are going to need much stronger software (ahem, Mario Galaxy 3 and Animal Crossing) ready for the first 6 months within launch to have a strong launch.
If they can do that with "4DS/Fusion" they should be able to make good money next gen too at least for a few years. They still probably need to start lowering their software prices at some point on portable software because I think $40 portable games are going to become a no-go at some point.
