(1st bolded) The post I made was refering to a device that had no integration, instead the home console and handheld were two completely seperate devices.
(2nd bolded) This isn't about having one or two mario games, it's about having as many Mario games as two completely seperate Nintendo consoles could provide. The short answer is no due to the development time every game would need to support a home console and handheld with the same performance Nintendo is known for. Well that and several other things such as better geometry, better textures, ect.
(3rd bolded) Agreed, but if they jump ship this time, it isn't just one device they jump from. Developing games for handheld is a lot less risky as you don't need nearly the numbers to make a profit. This could go either way. (But yes, a unified platform would also not change this. This is simply a risk Nintendo is going to HAVE to take and hopefully it pays off.)
(4th bolded) I do understand the point of a unified platform completely (you take the sales of the handheld and use it to boost your home console numbers). I don't understand the point of having two seperate devices that have the same library (which is what Soundwave and I'm discussing).
(Last bolded) You are assuming they could make all Wii U games and 3DS games work with each other in the same time as they develop for just their one system. This isn't the case. WIth a unified library I see Wii U getting a bump in games, but 3DS not getting as many (1st party), and even third party games will take a hit for 3DS owners as development costs will rise. It's a win-lose to try to help their home console sales that keeping the two devices seperate will more than likely only backfire. They need to unify the systems.

Already was written earlier so I will answer only on bolded.
-But those separate devices are not same, its not like you having two handhelds or just two home console, handheld and home console give consumers totally different experience even with same games. "First handheld and home console hardwares are very different, they offering different experiences, on home console you play games only at home on TV with rich graphic, while handheld is basically mobile console that is using on go and playing on small screen."
-No, NX handheld will not have less support than 3DS because integrated platform.
Again, it seem you don't understand, Nintendo cannot support separate handheld and home consoles effectivly anymore (same like Sony cant support PS4 and Vita, and because of that they completely abandoned Vita), they would need to kill one of them or to go with integrated platform, they decided to go with integrated platform, it best choice for them and consumers, like I wrote win-win for everybody.
