Not sure why you're so hellbent on maintaining this set up anyway -- it's more expensive for you as the consumer and it sure as hell isn't working for Nintendo either. Paying $500 ($300 for the Wii U + $200 for a 3DS XL) just to be able to play mostly the same franchises is an insane business philosophy that clearly is being shot down by consumers. Unless you have a miracle gimmick to justify the difference between the two it doesn't work anymore, epecially because today's handhelds can now handle higher end 3D graphics even. 

Technically I paid $600 for both ... $350 for my Wii U and $250 at launch for my 3DS. 

Dude... Stop editing in things like that

I want it like the way it has been because I want different experiences... Not the same experience on both the handheld and on the console... There are things that the console can do but the handheld can't like having local multiplayer, like having better graphics and a few more things. I don't want handheld graphics being upscaled on my 1080p and soon to be 4k TV... That would look awful... And I want a console that would look significantly better than the wiiU if they want to make me buy another one and of course, having the same games on both is a horrible business decision since it will butcher the sales of the console from a business prespective. It is a lose lose sitution because I as a consumer wont have better graphics, bigger worlds and etc on the console and it will look disgusting on my TV as well as features such as local play and Nintendo cause they will basically kill their console business by doing so which will have a loss in revenue cause people sure won't be paying $60 for a handheld game.

And yes, it is expensive to pay for both but you get seperate experiences that take advantage of the blah platform hence why you are paying for both if you choose too...
