This is just an idea, but for the Fusion I think Nintendo should just give up on the dedicated handheld business and start manufacturing smartphone cases/protectors that come with analog sticks and buttons. Nintendo can start marketing smartphone games that require the use of these buttons (ie. Nintendo would still retain some control over the hardware side via their protector cases) and this will become Nintendo's new mobile platform.

Nintendo's next console platform should also heavily support this concept of smartphone gaming the same way that the Wii U gamepad allows for off-TV play. I am thinking about a type of cloud where a game runs on both the console and the smartphone but the console does some of the processing leg-work for the smartphone and communicates via Wi-Fi even when the person isn't at home. When you get home, you can get a resolution bump by jumping on your TV or you can continue playing on your smartphone.
