Having an unified console would be bad because the handheld would hold back the console spec wise and the console would limit the functionalities for the handheld. The price for such a device would be way too much.

Having too devices that can play the same games NX handheld and NX console would be a disaster financially speaking, most of the money is made from games and I don't think Nintendo is looking forward to having their total software sold cut by half.


Their software sales would likely actually rise not drop. 

Pretty much all of MK8, Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3 Hyrule Warriors, Splatoon, etc. would sell 50-100% more if they actually had access to much larger 3DS buyer base than being stuck on the rotting, tiny Wii U userbase alone. 

DKC: TF is a very obvious victim of the Wii U ... that game really should be 3-4 million seller just like Luigi's Mansion 2 is on 3DS. 

Instead of having to make redundant software like Mario 3D Land and Mario 3D World for instance, they could do something like Mario 3D World followed by Mario Galaxy 3 instead too.
