I wonder how people expect Nintendo to keep supporting the Wii U, 3DS, an upcoming mobile division and whatever they imagine NX is, all at once and practically on their own; they have showed with all these news in the past week that they are moving on and changing and the Wii U will probably not be their number one priority in 2015 and 2016, perhaps not even their second priority.
QoL, mobile, 3DS, Wii U and NX all at once; that's not going to happen and something has got to give, it makes a fair bit of sense that they would cut the weakest link in the chain to begin with.

Do you think they might run with the 'fusion' concept people have been discussing? If they could include the WiiU in that loop they'd be able to save themselves a lot of effort.

I'm not entirely convinced about 'fusion', i think it poses as many problem as it fixes, but it's a potential solution to their development limitations.

They don't really have much choice the way I see it, it's either a Fusion concept or streaming with different dedicated devices. They have to carry their platforms virtually on their own when it comes to software and with the extended development cycles since the Wii days and more than one platform to develop for; they have to find a solution to their current game output being too slow.

Out of the two options, streaming vs fusion; I believe fusion is more likely, for someone with as little pedigree and as few allies in the world of online infrastructure as Nintendo, fusion would be easiest and safest bet. Streaming would be too radical.
