Nintendo said it themselves, they aren't trying to compete with Microsoft and Sony yet took risks in the development for the Wii U. When Reggie gets cornered by news anchors about the rumored specs of the next gen consoles he said "oh lets wait and see" and guess what? it happened.Microsoft unlike Nintendo knows better and will listen. The WIi U is closer to the 360. 

@bold. Tell that to the gameboy, tell that to the DS. You know, the only reason why this necessity for high specs for home consoles is because the industry (3rd parties) are requiring it, and because Nintendo has to compete with two wealthy competitors. Otherwise Nintendo wins with their strat, hands down.

Nintendo barely has any real competition from handheld competition. They've enjoyed almost exclusive domination and thats the only way they've ever stayed ontop of anyone. The demand for Nintendo handhelds is bigger than their consoles which have always played second fiddle. Nintendos third party is intact and mostly Japanese because again the Japanese havent enjoyed staying behind and making the same games. To most Japanese devs pushing tech to get newer experiences isn't the most important thing. Its not really about Nintendos strategy its just a lack of competition with compelling games.
