Would you buy a $99 3DS TV?

I think you're letting your personal preferences (obviously you value backwards compatibility) cloud the discussion. 

And of course Nintendo makes money from reselling old games again, the $20 they charge for Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii U for example doesn't magically go to charity. 

I'm not. You are. I'm using Nintendo's own words. You are not.

Most of it goes to R&D. They're future proofing. That's all. They're doing it because they have to, not because they want to.

Show me the quote where Iwata says their next console will have backwards compatibility. 

The R&D cost for putting something like Mario Galaxy 2 on the eShop is virtually nill. 

There was some logic in the Wii U having backwards compatibility because the Wii sold 100 million units, but the Wii U (going to be Nintendo's worst selling console)? I wouldn't bet the farm on that one.
