Theyre not sunk... they just basically dropped out of the home console market.
The NX is a handheld first and formost, that just happends to be able to hook to a tv.
Theres nothing wrong with that either, I bet the NX outsells the 3DS.
Also since they only have 1 system to develope for (instead of 3ds+wii u), it means it ll see more 1st party software from nintendo.
If the Wii U could play all the 3DS games there was, no one would have ever complained about game droughts.
I think it can work, I hope it does.

I am not sure if you have tried to Emulate DS and 3DS games on a large screen.
They. Look. Like. Utter. Garbage.
I doubt having 3DS games on the Wii U would have done much.
Let's put things into perspective...
The SNES could play gameboy games, the Nintendo 64 also had a Gameboy Advance adapter... Gamecube could do Gameboy Advance...
Wii and Wii U don't have anything as far as I know... But, Nintendo also has the virtual console to resell you the games on those platforms anyway.
None of these approaches have been any kind of guarentee to make Nintendo's consoles a runaway success.
Other than the Wii (Mostly driven by fleeting casuals) and the handheld DS... Nintendo's Home Consoles and Handhelds have been selling less and less every generation almost.
I want Nintendo to be as successfull as the other two companies, that's good for everyone, but we need to be realistic here.

I think you missed his point. Hes not saying simply having 3DS games being playable on Wii U would help, hes saying if all 3DS software and all Wii U software were designed from the ground up for a single device than it would have very strong software support.
Also saying that handhelds outside of DS have declined is not looking at the full picture. Gameboy sold 118 million while GBA sold 81 million so yes while looking purely at the numbers its a decline but that ignores the fact that Gameboy was on the market for 12 years before getting replaced while GBA had 3.5 years.
