No, Nintendo has a hard time supporting two seperate platforms and this problem continues to grow as games take longer and cost more money to make.
If Nintendo released a $200-250 PS3/360 level handheld alongside a $300-350 PS4/XBO level console than Nintendo will have to make games for two distinct platforms and consumers will have to spend $500-600 to have access to the full Nintendo library.
By offering a single $250-300 device that is about halfway between PS3/360 & PS4/XBO and acts as both a handheld & console, Nintendo can increase their output while consumers need to spend half the money to get full access to the Nintendo ecosystem.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
