the only reason to buy a wiiU is you are a big nintendo fan. a big portion of the wiiU owners have a 3ds as well. easily enough overlap to cause a 10% drop in console sales if the library's are too similar to justify multi-console ownership. that is, imo, a big contraction. |
Unified platform means far better and more focused Nintendo support for one platform than divided support for two separate platforms, that means more games and platform that is more attractive to consumers. Also this gen we already saw Nintendo cant effectively support two different platforms, that's a reason why they going with unified platforms.
Saying that despite unified platform, I think some people will still buy home console and handheld because they provide different experience, playing one game on home console when they are home and play same that game on handheld when are not home. More important NX home console and handheld will very likely have heavy integration, that will definitely convince some people to own both devices. Also I dont think every single game will be for both devices, majority definitely, but there will still be some handheld or home console exclusives. So there will certainly still be people that will own both devices, if handheld and home console integration is great maybe larger percent of people that will own both devices.
