I disagree. The kind of games they were focused on first party wise and not having 3rd party support were the main reasons why their home consoles didn't do that well most of the time. If what you're saying was the case, they should have just went with handhelds if they were gonna do "one pillar" because it did alot better in a pretty much uncontested market.  

Wii and DS didn't really had strong 3rd party support, 3DS also, now Switch doesn't have strong 3rd party support also and its doing great. If they still supporting two different platforms, bouth platforms wouldn't had enuf of Nintendo support, we saw exactly that with 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo wasn't able to support effectively two different platforms in same time, same could be said for Sony with Vita and PS4. That wasn't really case before HD games, but today its very hard to effectively support two different platforms in same time, thats why Switch is a hybrid and Nintendo with Switch basically making one unified platform.

Also now with one gaming platform, second platform where they will invest is mobile platform.

Why did you bring up handhelds having 3rd party support to prove something about home consoles?
