Frankly, there's only so much Nintendo can do about third party games. If third parties screw themselves over and then blame Nintendo, well you can only do so much. One thing Nintendo could do is play PR hardball on that stuff, calling the companies out for being morons and possibly suing for damages when companies flat out lie in such a way as to cause damage to their brand (DICE and Deep Silver claiming the Wii U was the same or weaker than the 360). But that would start a war that would benefit no one in the end and accomplish nothing.

They can play nicer and make their platform easier to work with, but beyond that? Not much.

One thing's for sure, if you want that enhanced third party support, the Fusion isn't going to get it. It would be at an absurd power disadvantage to ninth gen hardware along with other complexities that would come from having a handheld and console as one device. The only aspect of Fusion that I think makes any sense is having similar OS's and having the systems be very similar in terms of how you code for them. That would allow for more fluidity in Nintendo's dev teams. Other than that, keep the two platforms separate.
