I kinda actually have to agree. But its all due to with strategy. For majority of the history of the gaming industry, Nintendo has always taken a blue ocean strategy. A blue ocean captures/creates a new market by indentifying new factors to compete on in contrast to a red ocean where it competes on existing factors. Initially where most games were focus on violence, nintendo created arcadie family style games thus creating a new market which they dominate as a result of their strategy. And today where the competition are focused on traditional gaming, Nintendo created motion based games and thus they capture a new market which enables them to dominate. Nintendo keeps shifting their focus, so I dont blame their frustration.

Blue Ocean Strategy

I'm not exactly sure it makes sense since this gen is the perfect execution of Blue Ocean strategy. Unless you are implying that Nintendo was focusing on Red Ocean in previous generations, Nintendo never shifted their focus.
