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 an 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.

Handheld is the most sure fired success Nintendo will have with NX the's no competition now, whether it's a hybrid or separate SKUs the handheld side of things will carry the NX for the first number of years. This is why the concept of NX being both home and portable is even being speculated as a forgone conclusion as they can take a risk in the handheld market as no one is there now to challenge them, it's one reason I don't see NX failing at all as the concept is indicated to that where someone doesn't need to buy both devices only one and due to portable alone that's a good 20m units in japan already.
