That's where you are wrong, the Nintendo didn't innovate with wiiU we wouldn't have the switch, we would be stuck to the same motions for years and years, people would get bored of it. The next console will be probably like the switch with something else, its evolution. 

Personally I'd prefer they put all resources into a powerful home console as I dont play portable anyway.

I personally believe that outside factors like the impact of Mobile on the handheld sector lead to the Switch rather than the Switch being a result of continuing the innovation concerning the Wii U unless you mean innovation that lead to poor sales.

those changes to the mobile market meant that Nintendo were now faced with a declining handheld market along with weak Wii U sales and while they had the resources to ride out another console with Wii U sales numbers, the down turn in both meant that change had to happen, so a unified approach with the added synergies of having one product in terms of both hardware and software development was the way forward hence the hybrid switch.

Mobile has nothing to do with console sales, mobile is a totally different market.

The switch succeeded because its a 3ds and wiiU successor combined. 3ds + wiiU account for around 94 million sales, which makes sense.

WiiU was also impacted by its name as many people though it was a new controller for the wii, had it been named differently sales would have been much higher.

If the switch was not portable it would not sell even half.
