Nintendo has simply moved on to other things, while remaining one step ahead of MS. While MS tries to mimic the Wii games popular four years ago with Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures, and a year old dance game with Dance Central, Nintendo is now shifting from the non gamer and focusing more on the ex-gamer with old school type platformers like NSMB and Donkey Kong Country. And it is working. If MS TRUELY wants to capture the Wii audience, they must not go just for the non gamer, because that is only a fraction of the Wii audience. They must also go for the lapsed gamer, with a solid 2D platformer. Though I don't see MS ever doing this. I don't see MS with the ability to make a great 2D platformer, let alone one that is near the quality of Mario or DKC.
Nintendo are also using uinque technologies that set them appart like the Udraw (well its technically third party), balance board, and the soon to be Vitality Sensor, things that MS does not have. Kinects success only targets a small fraction of the Wii userbase, which is why Wii sales remain strong despite an amazing start for Kinect. They will need more than a Wii Sports type game and a Dance game to maintain that success.

This. Some Kinect games are selling well, but why is Wiifit still selling so damn well? Or Mariokart?
