The decision goes back to the fifth generation. The popularity of the Wii was simply a setback.
Motive? Nintendo competes too much as a software publisher and is too independant as a hardware manufacturer. The big third party publishers favour Microsoft and Sony because they willingly give publishers more control over hardware and burn more dollars to secure their favour, and they would keenly like to eliminate Nintendo's key advantage as a rival game publisher: Their hardware integration.
They'd do it in handhelds, too, if they thought they could pull it off.
