Nintendo can't afford more big Wii U games if they want to really support the next handheld and next home console.
Had Nintendo had big Wii U games coming and E3 2015 would have looked like E3 2014... and it clearly wasn't. Far from it, actually.

For next gen, Nintendo really needs a sub-200$ handheld or things could result in another 3DS situation.

 

$200 3DS sells perfectly fine (relative to market conditions), cheaper 3DS models have not improved sales whatsoever

 

The only cheap model that sold like shit is the 2DS, and to be honest that device is kinda a piece of shit, it's a downgrade in every sense of the definition. It's the equivalent of Nintendo releasing the original Gameboy 2 years after Gameboy Color or releasing the original Gameboy Advance 2 years after the GBA SP. Ya, they would be cheaper but they would also be inferior and be seen as poor products, so it's hard to say if a lower price would help 3DS. Personally I think an actual price cut would have been more effective than the 2DS was but Nintendo is in a state of profits over user base so they didn't go that route.
