They may lose double dippers but would potentially gain in people who currently own neither Nintendo devices.

For example, let's say someone is interested in 4-5 3DS games but that's not quite enough for them to buy a 3DS.

Let's say that same person is also interested in 4-5 Wii U games but again that's not enough for them to buy a Wii U.

This person owns neither Nintendo device because the individual libraries aren't enough for them, but if there was a single device that could play all 8-10 of those games that they are interested in, do the chances of this person buying a Nintendo device increase? I would say they do.

I agree, I'd be pretty sure most poeple who own a different console would currently love to play a few games on each of Nintendo's platform but dont want to party with the money for 2-3 games but if that was 5-6 that could be another potential hardware sold.

 

Yep, and another huge benefit for Nintendo is the sales of their software. Splatoon is going to sell something like 4-5 million, imagine if it were on 3DS in addition to Wii U, it would sell like 8-10 million. The same goes for alot of other games.
