While I do think the NX needs to be successful for Nintendo to continue home consoles, I don't think they will take a drastic step into the 100% mobile direction ever. I think they would sooner put their new triple AAA games on other companies devices (Xbox Two or Playstation 5 or whatever) and make all the profit from selling games without needing to take losses/spend development money and time on hardware.
Honestly, I think the most profitable future Nintendo could have would be to go 3rd party and develop for both mobile and consoles (though they should keep their handheld devices). But they won't do that (for now) because they believe that their devices are the best way to experience their games.
If the NX fails and Microsoft or Sony offered for Nintendo to develop their own controllers as well as transfer miiverse over to one of those devices, I bet Nintendo would be tempted.
