We won't really see the effects of it being irreplaceably damaged until the next console. I think people are still excited about Nintendo first party games though so its not entirely destroyed.

Enough to spend 300-500 on a system again? If the next one fails it's all over. If it truly combines the handheld and console market they kill both if they fail.

When has a Nintendo system ever been $500? Well perhaps in Australia lol. 

$300 is nothing. People spend $800 on a smart phone every 6 months to upgrade so a $300 investmenet even for 20 games over the life of a console isn't bad. plus shit liek this will appreciate invalue after 10 years because it is so rare so you cannot loose.
