If Nintendo is indeed merging it's handheld and home consoles into one and is no longer going to do both. Won't it have to sell at least 80 million or maybe even 100 million for that to make sense? I feel like Nintendo is actually missing out on making even more money by not having two different consoles on the market at the same time. What are your thoughts?

In that case, more than 70m... You also mean  commercial success, because it can be a financial success with just 40m if Ninteno handles it right.

As for the last part, it's one of the risks  of  that business move. It's more related to software sales though. 

Will Mario kart 9 on a hybrid system sell as much as a Mario kart 9 on handheld console and a Mario kart 10 on a home console would sell combined? it could, or it could not.

Well, the hybrid system could get a Mario kart 10 too, but Nintendo isn't used to give sequels of a game on the same gen platform, plus that this would be the real milking and could lead to ideas drying up for the next games.
