"Lastly, Nintendo is currently undergoing yet another shift. They will be moving away from the Wii U and 3DS. Their future will be one where they don't count on third parties, so they won't even attempt to build systems that satisfy the desires of the big third party publishers. Instead they will try to create a platform that suits the needs of consumers around the world, and their game development will most likely return to serving the market instead of dictating what the market is supposed to buy."
Granted, the OP was not about Nintendo's future business model, but this is essentially what the company is planning on doing/needs to do if they want to remain relevant.
There was talk about Nintendo creating a medical entertainment market and even medical equipment (this seems less likely), and this would fall in line with company plans to move in a different direction than home and handheld consoles; a market that is currently served best by Playstation and Xbox brands in the home space, and iOS and Android in the mobile space.
At this point, Nintendo is heavily relying upon the children's market for their portables due to migration to mobile gaming among other demographics and in the home space, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to say that the majority of that market is primarily filled with consumers who have to buy Nintendo hardware in order to play Nintendo IP games.
