Nintendo isn't ready for next gen.

Their plans are nice and ambitious and all but i'm not sure they realise how risky it is. If their next gen hardware does indeed blend handheld with console and it fails then they'll be in some pretty deep shit. What has been keeping them profitable for the most part during this gen with the Wii U slacking is the 3ds. They can make cheap games for it and make high profits and reinvest that into the Wii U. If their combined system tanks then where are they going to get money from exactly? And they haven't mentioned how powerful it is. For all we know it can't manage third party games which is vital to any console's survival.

They won't make a combined system. There will still be a home console and a handheld.

If you think that third party multiplatform games are vital for Nintendo, then you should look for evidence that shows that such games move Nintendo hardware. But if there's no such evidence, then it wouldn't matter how powerful Nintendo's hardware will be. Remember, Nintendo handhelds have never had such a thing as substantial multiplatform support, but they survived regardless.

Third party games are vital for any system. Nintendo relies on them much less compared to Sony/MS, but without third party support, the NX will fail (unless it has some gimmick like the Wii).
