Nintendo hasn't lost me. Although it's on the threshold with Wii U as I'm totally not sold on that system. Nor 3DS.
For me Nintendo would need to continue to lead the way with innovation. Unfortunately, this (coming?) gen their attempts at innovation already seem behind the curve. 3D? Not new. Glasses-free is cool, but 3D was out for a while and had already lost it's 'cool' factor. Touchscreen? So old now it's just plain expected. It seems logical on the PS Vita. Of course it's there. But as the 'gimmick' for Wii U? It's completely, 'so what'? Yeah, sure, it's nice to have a second touch screen for numerous reasons but I'd rather they ditched that although and went further with motion and immersion rather than aping Apple.
Secondly, new gameplay. As much as I love SSB, Mario Kart, NSMB, etc. Another version of those same games (now in HD!) won't budge me from my Wii. Wii Sports and motion controls got me to buy a console because it was a new experience. It'll take another new experience to prompt me to upgrade.
