I'm not sure how people can believe that if Nintendo had two WiiU Esque failures in a row they would continue regardless. They're reputation in the home console market has already plummeted, follow that up with another failure and they'll be the laughing stock of the industry.

It would be incredible dumb for them not to change business strategy after 8+ years of failing in the home console market. Don't let your own attachment to Nintendo's devices affect your judgement.

Fact is that even with Wii U Nintendo is making money, I would understand if Nintendo is bleeding money this gen because Wii U and if they have another that situation in row they would most likely consider (just consider not doing that) extisting hardware market.

And they already changed their strategy because of Wii U, but that strategie doesnt include existing hardware, they actually expanding value of their IPs (Amiibos, mobile games, themed parks, movies...) in order that market be much aware of Nintendo IP that will affect in much more interest in Nintendo dedicated platforms. 

Also we can agree that NX will definitely more successful than Wii U, so if Nintendo doesn't consider existing hardware market after Wii U they will not consider with more successful product. Nintendo is were aware where their true strength lies, and that is to be presenton  hardware and software market.
