Entering the motion control arena is like challenging Nntendo in the handheld arena or trying to create a better 2D or 3D platformer.

 You're gonna lose and be lucky to still be in business at the end of it. It's Nintendo law.

You see nothing wrong with that? Nintendo isn't the only company that can push a medium to victory. If they were unstoppable, as you seem to be implying, they wouldn't have lost the last two gens in a row, and handily at that.

Nintendo had arguably the best 3D patformer in the 32-bit gen in their arsenal, and it did very little to combat the PS1.

I already explained why they 'lost' (but still made more profit than MS and Sony combined for the past 2 gens). They became un-Nintendo. They dropped 2D Mario and games now needed half an hour just to get used to the controls. 

The fact that they survived the greedy transition to CDs and still provided Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, the analog stick and rumble just goes to show how much of an effort it is to try and compensate for 2D Mario. Only Nintendo could survive and profit.
