No I wouldn't be shocked at all, huge majority of same games and apps can be used on iPhone and iPad or an Android phone and Android tablet. You said itself that is a easier, and that's my point. For Nintendo (and for 3rd party) for instance will be much easier to make one Mario Kart that will work on NX home and NX handheld, than make basicly difrent Mario Kart games for 3DS and seperate Mario Kart for Wii U like they were doing this gen and all previous generations.
Again, yes, I think I know what Nintendo is planning and that some of patents are related with those plans, but you cant know if I am wrong or not, so maybe you need stop saying that I don't know anything because you can't prove that I am wrong.

Define "much easier". Because there's a different between "we pretty much just have to recompile it to use different assets, it's that easy" and "we have to re-do 70% of the game as opposed to 85% of the game in order to get it to work properly". One takes minimal effort, and the other while technically easier, doesn't really add much incentive to do so. So which is it? Ohh right. You have no idea, just that it'll probably be easier than porting a Wii U game to the 3DS. You think. Brilliant.
On top of that, there's no technical reason why Nintendo couldn't have done this in the past. It is easier to port Mario Kart 7 from the 3DS to the Wii U then it is to make an entirely new Mario Kart for the Wii U. Yet. that's what Nintendo did in Mario Kart 8. Why didn't Nintendo port Mario Kart 7 to the Wii U instead of making Mario Kart 8? Because more people would buy copies of a brand new mario kart rather than pick up another copy of a game they already have for their 3DS. It was a move to increase sales. Instead of selling one copy to its die hard Mario Kart fans, it could sell two.
Yet here you are saying Nintendo is going to abandon this philosophy all together because porting is easier than ever before, and definitely easier than making a completely new game? Well, I hate to break it to you, but It was always easier. Making the architecture similar makes porting games easier for sure, but it was always easier to port a game than start from scratch, so why is this suddenly going to lead to a dramatic increase in first party and third party titles? By forcing third parties to put in the extra effort to support two platforms instead of one, you might cause them to reject developing for the platform altogether. If you don't do that, then how is the game marketplace any different than the one for the Wii U and 3DS?
All that aside, you really need to stop with the fallacies. Last post you used an "appeal to the people fallacy" to argue that because more than one of you believe that this is what Nintendo is doing is somehow makes your claim more valid. Now you're using an "appeal to ignorance" fallacy by arguing that I can't prove you wrong so there's validity to your claims. Guess what? The onus is on you to prove your claims are true, not on me to prove your claims are false. Lastly, you should probably look up what the word "know" means because "think" and "know" mean two completely different things, and you're using them interchangably.

About your MK7 question:
"For example, currently it requires a huge amount of effort to port Wii software to Nintendo 3DS because not only their resolutions but also the methods of software development are entirely different. The same thing happens when we try to port Nintendo 3DS software to Wii U. If the transition of software from platform to platform can be made simpler, this will help solve the problem of game shortages in the launch periods of new platforms. Home consoles and handheld devices will no longer be completely different, and they will become like brothers in a family of systems."
Again, my opinion is based on all things NIntendo said they planning to do and patents that are related to those patents. You think my opinion is wrong and thats ok, we will see in few months is that true.
