Well Sonic Generations also came out on 3DS, and I have gotten lots of StreetPass tags, so clearly the Nintendo version sold well LOL.

Nintendo wasn't that motivated to come up with games for such systems as DS & Wii, especially not for DS. The 3DS by itself has gotten Nintendo very motivated to come up with all sorts of great game ideas. The Wii U has made Nintendo come up with great game ideas for such first party games as Star Fox & Pikmin & F-Zero & Metroid & etc.

Nintendo just comes up with way more ideas for the 3DS & Wii U because the DS & Wii especially the DS just didn't really inspired Nintendo as much is all.


Huh? What do you mean Nintendo wasn't motivated with to make games or have great game ideas on DS and Wii? Why is it do you think those systems sold as well as they did?

DS: Nintendogs, Brain Age, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, NSMB, Professor Layton, the Zelda games, Mario Kart DS, 2 Mario & Luigi rpgs, Fire Emblem, Rhythm Heaven, Mario vs. DK, Art Academy, several Kirby games, 2 Yoshi games, Metroid Prime Hunters, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Wario Ware DIY, Star Fox Command, Elite Beat Agents, Glory of Heracles, Trace Memory, Meteos, Chibi Robo, Trauma Center, etc. etc. etc. etc.

 

Wii: Wii Sports, the other Wii ____ titles, Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword (AND Crossbow Training), Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, NSMB Wii, Wario Land, Wario Ware, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3 & Trilogy, Kirby Epic Yarn & Return to Dreamland (AND Dream Collection), Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Brawl, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars II, Fling Smash, Excite Truck & Bots (AND Excite Bike on WiiWare), Mario Party 8 & 9, Big Brain Academy, the Mario Sports titles, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Endless Ocean, Rhythem Heaven Wii, PokePark, Tetris Party, Sin & Punishment 2, Trauma Center, Punch Out, Xenoblade, The Last Story (for Japan), Pandora's Tower (for Japan), etc. etc.

 

Their output, seems to me, was higher on DS and Wii than it really had been, ever. The Wii at least got more Nintendo published titles than the N64 and GC did, I'm certain. Just saying, I don't really see what point you're making, because Nintendo has been going full force for years. It's just unfortunate that their OVER-focus on 3DS has lead to the recent drought of Wii U, which needed the support much more.
