I hate to agree with you as I grew up with Nintendo. But they are simply too small to be able to provide the quantity of games that are expected from them now that it takes such massive teams and such a lot of resources to make games.
Even the handheld games now require as many resources as home consoles did 5 years ago. They've probably got as many staff working on 2-4 games a year now, as they had working on 10 games previously and I can understand why they'd be wary to expand. Even 3rd parties have stopped with the exclusives the same simply because they need to release across multiple systems to recoup their budgets. I think this has what has impacted Nintendo as well as now you really need to throw a lot of money at devs for exclusives that just the offer of distribution and marketing would have secured in previous generations.
