Keeping the Wii U around until the next xbox and playstation arrive would be a disaster.
And the hardware gap will be far too big between a handheld releasing next year and a home console releasing in 4-5 years. The most logical step is releasing two consoles near simultaneously; one handheld and one home console and have a unified architecture, or at least close to unified, rather than trying to fit a new system of cross-platform development onto already existing devices; that's fitting square pegs into round holes if I ever heard of it.
