Should Nintendo's next console be a microconsole?

I still think that their best option if to create a handheld/home console hybrid. What the collective sales of Nintendo products each generation has shown is that Nintendo is very consistent in their total sales (except for 7th generation), it is just that their share of people on handheld vs. home console varies. Combining the two might prove highly succesful, and it would also cater to the micro console concept that the OP refers to.

^^^This.

The only "microconsole" Nintendo is making is the "HDS."

What this guy is suggesting is the equivalent of, instead of releasing the Wii U, Nintendo released a "microconsole" that was slightly stronger than the already underpowered Wii called the WiiDS, shared a library with the 3DS, could play all those 3DS games at 1080p 60fps on the TV, and costed $150.

Yeah. People would have gone absolutely nuts for that.

Yep that is what I'm suggesting and it would have been a more profitable route than Wii U in its current state.
