Very true.  As long as the mobile games are actual experiences and not quick, cheap tie-in games, they should do well in the mobile market.  I also think that the NX handheld side of things will do as well as the 3DS.  However, the home console side of things probably will see as much success as the Wii U.  It'll have too much competition from a $199 PS4 and a looming, much more powerful PS5 (which Sony will most likely launch at $399, again.)

You really think that next Nintendo home console will be success like Wii U!?

Nintendo made series of serious mistakes with Wii U, like horribly name for console, very bad and poor marketing, software drought, hardware not compiling for 3rd party, unused gamepad in games by Nintendo himself....Nintendo would need to try really hard to make again that series of serious mistakes.

Nintendo learned their lessons with Wii U, plus their next handheld will have very strong integration with home console and that too will affect on home console sale.

Nintendo's troubles in the home console market has less to do with any grave mistakes they have made and more to do with stiff competition.  They made no real mistakes with the SNES, yet it sold less than the NES.  Why? Because the Genesis was also popular and provided good competition.  And aside from the Wii, all of their consoles have declined in sales/interest from its predecessor.  The Wii U will continue that trend, even when compared to the Gamecube, and sell ~20M-21M.
