But don't you think that, given the wiiU's performance considering its price point for the performance it gives, Nintendo making a device with that price point is not a wise thing for them to do?
While it is true that it will be able to do something that no other console or handheld can do, they are relying too much on that one gimmick to sell given that unlike the 3ds/wiiU combo, they do not have a carry device they had last generation (or current generation I guess)? So if it doesn't do well, they will lose quite a bit of money for the next 5 years.
Where as, if it is just a handheld with a docking station to plug into the TV with no extra gpu horsepower, it can cost around $200 which is in the impulse buy range and still have the same gimmick. Yea the ps4 horsepower isn't there but last time they relied on western third parties, they kinda got goofed cause the third parties didn't like the sales. (For better or for worse)

Yes.
My whole theory is based on this: Nintendo is thinking the loyal 3DS fan base will embrace this thing, plus the WiiU crazies like you and me, which, as I said would grant them 50 million users in a total failure situation.
So, yes, I am saying they will drop support for the 3DS in the long run, and for now their handheld and console lines will be one and the same.
They will cut costs in marketing and manufacturing by supporting only one system and the cartridges grant them a larger margin than the disks.
Take this out of the equation and my whole thesis fall appart.

That sure is one hell of a gamble if its true. Gamble for the ages some might say.
