I would say its more important for Nintendo to converge the support of 3DS & Wii U into a single device than to get ports of PS4/XBO games.

Full support of Nintendo+strong Japanese support+strong indie support+strong family friendly support is likely what such a device will have, mainstream western titles are probably just a bonus for them.

And how did that work out for the Wii U?  You see what's great about strong 3rd party support is it fills out any droughts caused by 1st/2nd party delays or cancellations.  This is why Wii U had so many months go by without a lot of good games.  This only leads to lack of interest from core gamers, which leads to low sales.  No console that lacks strong 3rd party support has gone on to be a huge success.  Even the Wii got thrown quite a few bones, due to the amount of casuals gaming on it.  Unfortunately, a lot of that was shovelware because devs/pubs knew it was mostly casuals on the system, but it was still some form of support.  A lack of support, as well as the competitors putting out more appealing HW, is really what lead to the N64, Gamecube, and Wii U performing so poorly against its rivals.

Wii U never got good Japanese support ever. 

The NX may already have better Japanese support by virtue of Dragon Quest XI alone. 

This system with this form factor could do very well in Japan, probably be the no.1 system there.
