It's nothing specific to Nintendo, but I think making a unified portable & console platform would be a huge mistake.
It's a universal mistake among engineering companies. Unifying platforms and systems, almost never works out. Everybody thinks hey, rather than support both System A and System B, let's make System C which unifies them.
More often than not, this ends up as C not really replacing A & B completely, thereby C adds complexity overall, and the company has to divide it's resources supporting all three A, B, C. |
Yeah look at how terrible these products are selling:

Those products are extremely similar in their usage, and form of input.
Apple was pretty vocal that Microsoft unifying their mobiele and Desktop UI would be bad, and they were right. Now Microsoft is backpedaling on that unification, and will give away their next OS for free to try to get people back.
