If this gen was a Fusion platform you'd have roughly 55 million portables and 10 million consoles sold through already. 

So ... the portable aspect of it will likely carry the bulk of the sales, whatever they sell with the home version will likely just be gravy/icing on the cake. 

Well he specified he meant home console when he said "Next Nintendo console" but again this refers to the "ifs" and "buts". Are they 2 systems with a similar libary, are they the same? If we're counting handheld and home console sales as one system, well sure. The Wii U+3DS will break 90m, so its not much of a bold prediction in that case :(

Well you can also see very clearly from that why Nintendo would want to go Fusion ... right now they can still sell 90 million hardware units (give or take) even in a "weak" generation for them, but you have games like Splatoon, Bayo 2, Mario Kart 8, etc. stuck on only a small portion of that. 

So creating a unified singular platform and simply letting the consumer choose which hardware variant they want (home or portable) would be very appealling to them.
