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.

Okay. Yes handheld and home console gaming experiences are different.

And how does integrating platforms mean more games for handheld? I'm effectively telling you exactly where the problems will arise. Long story short, longer handheld game development times.

That's going to happen even if Nintendo just abandoned traditional consoles since the 3DS's successor is probably going to have an exponential boost in power as well as development cycles comparable to the average Wii U game due to the large advancements in mobile technology since early 2011.  At least it should.

I'm hoping that the NX has a unified library and is both a handheld and a console because if they could find a way to make it a realistic possibility to port over 3rd party games meant for the xbox one and PS4 to an NX handheld, then that's like the holy grail for Japanese 3rd parties since they'd have their cake and eat it too by being able to tap into the large handheld market with their big budget console  games without having to make games specifically for Nintendo's handhelds.
