I don't think that is what established the shooter base though. I think the shooter base is on Sony platforms, because people who like shooters like Sony. Afterall, that doesn't explain why various other third party created bases exist where they do.
Why is 360 the Madden Box.... Microsoft never created a Sports base.
With Nintendo it was just a lack of proper timing.
Had Nintendo did exactly what they did in the PS1 era (outside being douches who scared off third parties) and they got PS1 level support. I'd be positive the Wii U would have an already established shooter base that rivals Sony's shooter base today.
Furthermore, I would guess that even if Nintendo made the most revlutionary shooter since Wolfenstein... it still wouldn't matter.
Videogame markets are weird in that it seems like brand assosiation is EXTREMELY important.
There is of course plenty of value to go "counter stream" with a product to appeal to Wii U shooter fans... but Crysis really isn't that game.
I still think Nintendo should make a shooter though. Call it "Return to Castle Bowser" make it a downloadable game in the vein of an oldschool shooter. Would be good fun. Fire Flowers, Hamer Bro Hammers, shells etc.

Didn't Miyamoto say once that he wanted to make a first person shooter?
They should let him.

Sort of. He said he liked the possibilties that first person gaming provides.
I imagine it would be far more Portal then it would Crysis 2.
"Rather than necessarily the question of 'What kind of weapon do I have?' ... I think that the structure of a first-person shooter is something that's very interesting," he says. "Having that 3D space that in theory you are in and being able to look around and explore that-particularly being able to do that in conjunction with another person-is very interesting."
