This is the part people seem to ignore. Final Fantasy hasn't had a new entry in ages or any entry past 6 on a Nintendo machine. That's 25 years of doing nothing to build or maintain an audience there. It's not like all the FF fans from the SNES days have stubbornly dug in their heels and ignored the franchise for more than two decades, persistently buying only machines that never see an entry.
And the same goes for other franchises and publishers that have ignored Nintendo platforms for extended periods, it will take time to fully establish an audience there.

That's only if you just count the mainline titles.
Starting Gamecube, Nintendo got the FF Chrystal Chronicles series instead, with 2 games and a couple spinoffs, and let's not forget FF Tactics Advance/A2

I do only count those because both CC and Tactics were shortlived and neither had anywhere near the staying power or pull of the mainline entries. Combined they maybe held on to a fraction of the growing fanbase for a brief time. A negligible impact in the grand scheme of things
