You've heard about the supplementary cloud computing patent right? It's possible that when you have the handheld and a console that both could work in tandem to share a portion of the processing load.

The handheld could get a boost when on the move through sending non latency sensitive tasks back to the console to be processed and the handheld handles latency sensitive ones. The 2 systems working together could make for a more powerful whole unit.

Imagine the handheld by itself is close to XB1 level and the console could be around PS4K, put the 2 together and you have the combined capabilities of both.

Allowing people to play games on the move, then boost visuals when your home would be a pretty big selling point for some IMO, though mainly the reason for unifying the library is to just give people more options and improve the possibility of them wanting to buy more than one Nintendo system.

Nintendo could actually gain if the console audience can now buy games that wouldn't have been available to them before and the handheld audience would potentially be even bigger, so that adds to the amount of potential customers and units of software that could be sold.

How expensive would that XBO handheld be? .-.

No, you're overestimating the amount of people who'd buy 2 expensive platforms to play the same games.
