I agree with your reasoning. I think that Nintendo is already making SW for their new home console and researching the market to be able to penetrate it as fast and fiercely as they can with it, so preparing their new console must be their most important goal right now.
Wii is IMO already past its prime and Nintendo might want to get a head start next gen meanwhile Sony and MS keep on selling their curent gen systems. Nintendo has achieved, like you said, much more than they had ever hoped for, although it could have been way better with serious 3rd party support and less 1st party droughts. Either ways Nintendo is the most successful out of the 3 this gen and they will undoubtedly try to remain N° 1 next gen. Wii's on its last legs, there's no recovering from the decline, that's what I'm trying to get people to understand and they seem stubborn about it. Wii will not go up in yearly sales ever again, Nintendo is focusing on the 3DS and their next home console already, even if Iwata says so otherwise, we know that's what's going on.

I agree. I imagine that the next home console, like their imminent next handheld, will be the single most aggressive combination of hardware and software that Nintendo has released in that space. The Wii didn't get that, and it's not going to in the future.
For everyone else reading this:
Don't take this as me slagging Nintendo or the Wii. I'm not. I've never been happier with a single home console than I am with my Wii, for a variety of reasons. I'm just doing my best to try to predict the actions that Nintendo is taking.
