Como estará la situación, que ni nostros mismos nos ponemos de acuerdo en como arreglar el pastel, a mi me preocupa.

I worked on my idea a little:
We know Nintendo is working on new hardware right now. We also know that they merged IRD and RED not only to streamline operations and unify certain aspects of their next platforms, but also to potentially release more hardware in the future. And we have Iwata's statement about exploring different business models going forward.
I think Nintendo might release a new "third pillar" sooner rather than later. It would be similar to the DS in that it would launch during the lifecycle of the 3DS and Wii U instead of replacing either of them outright, and it would be based on a disruptive idea: A hybrid platform - not a hybrid device. It wouldn't be compatible with either 3DS or Wii U software, but might be compatible with some hardware to a certain extent. If the new platform gains traction, 3DS and Wii U would be phased out sooner than usual. If not, Nintendo has a little more time to come up with something else.
What I envision is a range of devices all based on the same hardware architecture and running the same OS. There'd be an entry level handheld, a sleek high end handheld and a tablet (all with a single screen), as well as a console (without a screen in the controller). All devices would be able to run the same software, but the bigger variants would be more powerful, of course. While the entry level handheld would be limited to, say, 360p, the home console version would run the same games in full 1080p, with more visual bling overall. And no mobile variant would have HDMI out, because they can sell more hardware that way. But if you own more than one device, most likely a handheld and the console version, the systems would use StreetPass and SpotPass to keep all your saves and settings in sync automatically, without user intervention.
That concept would not only streamline the development process considerably, It would also allow Nintendo to quickly react. If certain variants of the platform don't sell, they could be phased out or replaced. Additional variants could also be introduced, like a 4k home console for example, if there's enough demand at some point.
