Lets look at the facts:

1.WiiU is a dud- it sells far less than the ps3 ever did and the ps3 was twice the price. Nintendo succeeded last gen by using motion controls. The success of motion gaming is the only thing that separated the gamecube and wii, and this time around nintendo couldn't capture that magic. Mostly because the gamepad is a poor verson of real tablets and casuals have moved on to those. People say its about games but nintendo already has its biggest game (2d mario) on the system. The reason wii was a success was because of wii sports/fit, not because of mario kart or 2d mario. Those series saw boosts because they were the most natural jumping off point from the wii series on a game starved system. Its why games like zelda, 3d mario, smash bros and others didn't sell much more than their n64 or gamecube iterations.

2. The 3ds is failing outside Japan. It sold less this year in the west than last year, and last year it wasn't available all year and cost far more. Dedicated handhelds are dead and the 3ds can only use pokemon and mario kart to stave that off for so long.

Basically nintendo is in big trouble because the handheld market will be gone soon and they are struggling to compete with MS and sony in the multimedia world. Casuals have moved on and core gamers are waiting for ps4/nextbox- which leaves nintendo with hardcore nintendo fans AKA the gamecube audience. Given that nintendo hasn't had third party support since super nintendo and that ms and sony will be showered with it its safe to say nintendo is in between a rock and a hard place. 

ok some of the facts you expose are not facts after all :) but i understand your theory, a very interesting one.

Which ones?
