The only problem is unlike the GC and the Wii U, Nintendo won't have those handheld sales to subsidize their income, since the NX is rumored to be a combo of the two markets. So, if the NX is not a success, where will Nintendo be making its money?
Personally, I don't see am underpowered Wii U 2, only now with a seemingly worse controller, being a big success. Sure, it seems the controller may have the ability to go mobile, unlike the Wii U, but its lack of physical buttons is going to be a big turn off to core fans, the type of customer that are mostly left in the console gaming market.

That's a non-existing problem because the combo of home console and handheld doesn't mean that it will be a single device, but rather that separate home console and handheld devices will feature the same operating system and development environment.

Even if that is the case, one of them will fail, just like the PS4/Vita model didn't help the Vita. Given Nintendo's history, I'm more inclined to think the home console will be the one that suffers. Of course, if it is the handheld that looks like this, especially without physical buttons, I see a lot of gamers being turned off by it.
