This year was the year of the 3DS, maybe next year will be the year of the Wii U.


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.

 


The problem is Nintendo don't have the resources to support two consoles. In 2014 we're about to get into a situation where there are quite a few great Wii U games coming and nothing significant (yet) coming for the 3DS. This is a really dangerous situation for Nintendo as they have been entirely reliant on the handheld to stay profitable. Without big titles sales will decline and it's unclear in the Wii U will be able to pick up the slack.
