Nintendo did intend for Nintendo Land to do the same job. I think Reggie said so himself.
Problem is, marketing didn`t work and the price isn`t right for that job. If add all up, it`s 350 for console and Nintendo Land, but to also enjoy all of it`s games, you need a Wii remote (and nunchuck ?). Which equals 400.

Compare that to Wii`s 250 (for taking advantage of full game) and almost hysteria to get a single console.

Wii U might have Mario, but when Nintendo fails to market the console and after only 4/5 of another Mario game of the same nature, Mario too loses appeal.
