What reason do u have for not wanting Nintendo to unify their platforms?

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. 

Well yes you van see it that way, but don't forget Nintendo as a tendency to port handheld games to console and vice versa and those games sale a lot. Like what they did with new super mario ds and wii. Ports are cheap to make and not time consuming, full new games are. Having two different console that you can port from is better because the fanbase doesn't mind bying them.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't a port of New Super Mario Bros. DS, it was a brand new, original title, built from the ground up for Wii so that is a horrible example.

That works fine when u have two extremely popular platforms like Wii & DS but not so much when u have one extremely popular platform and one that's not (like 3/4 of Nintendo's most recent generations).

Also it's not like the NX handheld/console won't be able to get HD remasters of GC/Wii games or ports of underperforming Wii U games so they can still always make easy money from ports.
