This is kind of a myth though. They actually make more money from hardware than they do from software.

They have more revenue from hardware than from software, but most of their profit probably comes from the software.

It's possible but you can also see why Nintendo would be reluctant to drop hardware. When done correctly it yeilds them a lot of money. 

I think next-gen they will go with a unifed software ecosystem and hardware using similar (mobile) chips. This way they will be able to make a very low cost home variant ($199.99 or less to start) which is profitable for most/all of its lifecycle. 

Wii U is way too expensive for what it is, next-gen IMO they will aim hard at the new generation of kids and try to win them away from tablets/phones.
