Theory: Wii U is part of the fusion concept and will be around longer than we think.

[Soundwave]

The Fusion idea really doesn't work if your console is par with a PS5/XB2 and the handheld is what? Akin to a Wii U, maybe slightly better? Mobile tech is not advancing *that* fast guys.

Not to mention the RAM disparity alone, next-gen RAM will probably be like 24GB or 32GB of main RAM + 128MB of eDRAM alone ... sorry but 2-3GB of dinky mobile RAM + a maybe a 24MB eDRAM buffer at much slower speed is not going to cut it.

It will be like trying to port PS3 games to the PSP or PS4 games to the Vita, the hardware gap is far too big.

When Iwata was talking about "brother" consoles (ie: fusion platforms) the example he used was the iPhone and iPad. The iPad is usually more powerful than the iPhone but uses roughly the same processor just upclocked a bit and sometimes has double the RAM (not 10x more).
