Except for the 50+ million 3DS that have been sold thus far.......we need to stop thinking of handheld & console as being completely separate devices since Nintendo has made it painfully clear they plan to integrate them into a single ecosystem.

Except that market is shrinking faster than the speed of sound and can no longer be viewed as a viable one long term. There is a reason why Sony has recently said there is no climate for a Vita 2. There is still a market for home consoles though and home consoles need to have some beef on 'em. With handheld market evaporating Nintendo cannot delegate itself into the role of a secondary option, lagging behind competition and begging for any sort of attention.

Yep. That's why Nintendo has quite the journey ahead of them. They need to figure out how to make one console that caters to their entire fanbase (Mobile and console) while still not being pushed out of both markets. Not an easy task...
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
