Conventional basically means narrow. Nintendo has always wanted their consoles to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible. Take the NES for example. What is on the back of the Action Set? It's a picture of an entire family playing and underneath it says "Now the entire family can get in on the action". This notion that Nintendo abandoned something is nonsense. The industry simply narrowed around them and became dominated by one type of gamer.
Nintendo is doing what they've always done. Sometimes it works (NES,SNES and Wii) sometimes it doesn't (N64, Gamecube and Wii U) but they're going to stay the course.
