my credentials: I've been playing since NES and only the last twelve years have I been on non-Nintendo platforms.
what went wrong is games matured into a mainstream media via controversial and intellectual story telling. Nintendo refused to move away from the old model of; games are for everyone, children and up. Thusly, developers shy from investing in Nintendo's fractured business model.
what went right is Nintendo stayed true to the idea that games aren't about graphics. They are about color, emotion, and fun. They devoted resources into filing games with surprises and new experiences. They also remained the technological pioneers of the industry.
