That was a huge part of the problem. THE single biggest culprit in Nintendo's game draught, was the fact that their development teams had been focusing TOO much on 3DS development, and not nearly enough on Wii U development, the console they had JUST brought to market.
Personally, I still say that Luigi's Mansion 2, at the very least, should have been a Wii U game, not a 3DS game. That alone, coming out in the early part of 2013, would have helped.

Of course Wii U isn't "Doomed". The only people who say so are either trolling or are most hardcore fanboys of the competition, and want to believe Nintendo will fail so their company of choice can "win". Wii U had a horrible 2013, and it was largley Nintendo's fault for mismanaging their own game development cycles. That can't be changed now. But they can still (and will) get a boost from the price drop and the holidays. And next year, they absolutely need to focus on Wii U. Games, games, games, and more games. And honestly, part of that should be releasing the Wii U version of Smash Bros. before the 3DS version, to give it more spotlight.
