This is kind of obvious, isn´t it? Until they explore as much as they can and at least reach a decent install base, they won´t drop support to the WiiU. What else could they do right now? Killing it right now would be crazy.

I think they´re already working on a device that is a home/portable hybrid for the next generation, and specially designed for digital games instead of physical media. But still this is just a guess....

This would be the only way I see a hybrid working. There would have to be cloud gaming and on the controller you select whether you want to use it like a gamepad or like a handheld. It'd be good because you'd only have to buy one game, but I'm just not sure if the world is ready for such a demanding online infrastructure, let alone Nintendo. Not that I think their online is bad, it's actually surprisingly good this gen, but an entire gaming gen infrastructure in the cloud? I have my doubts.

I think (and hope) they will sell it as a peripheral next gen. Redesign it so the form factor is closer to the dreamcast and sell it for 99. Keep it as a option for split screen, offscreen play and HUD stuff.
