Ya it only helps in Japan, hence why 3DS has sold close to 40 million outside of Japan.

A device that combines the support of 3DS & Wii U will have strong Japanese support, strong indie support & strong kid/family friendly support.

The only thing missing would be mainstream western support but Wii U had decent western support initially, they just couldnt hold onto it, if NX can hold get and hold onto that than they will have pretty much all bases covered.

Might want to read the bolded part.

And more accurately I should have said it helps them in Japan, but not incredibly so lately.  Nintendo is trying to combine a market that they have only dominated once AND a market they always dominated, but is a dying market.  Not really seeing an extremely positive result for them.

Outside of Japan, 3DS shipped about 21 million from March 2011 to Sept 2013 (2.5 years) and about 17 million from Oct 2013 to March 2016 (2.5 years).

Not really the hige decline you're making it out to be.
