It's not about selling more home consoles, it's about merging the platforms in order to have a unified console and handheld. 2 devices with the same architecture, operating system, online infrastructure, similar specs that share a library. Combined Nintendo might be able to sell 70 million or so devices.
It's about maximizing software sales by not having games like Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, 3D World suffer low sales because they are on a device with low install base. These games can all be 5-10 million sellers if they had the handheld side of the business to sell on as well.
What's he's saying is next gen there will be Playstation 5, Xbox 4 and Nintendo Fusion which is split up into 2 seperate devices similar to Vita/Vita TV.

So zorg, how do you think Sony and MS will react to this gamechanger?

I don't think it will really affect them in any huge way, it's two completely seperate demographics. It's not going to stop PS4/XB1 from selling strong numbers and won't stop them from getting AAA 3rd party titles.
The objective isn't to sell better than or compete directly with PS/XB but rather to allow Nintendo to be more self reliant by increasing software output, giving them a strong userbase to sell their ip to and ultimately maximize profits.
