I don't have a problem with Nintendo doing their own thing, in fact I admire them for not getting caught up in hardware wars with tech giants like Microsoft and Sony. They cannot play the console wars the same way. So they don't.
I just wish Nintendo would be more mindful of how their audience has changed over the years. They pushed the Wii U as a hardcore console, then produced titles like Mario and Pikmin. These are good games, but they cannot push hardware to that particular audience. You need Zelda and X for the "hardcore" audience: you can release Mario midlife.
Nintendo's first party portfolio is majorly lacking. Mario is good for the 3DS, maybe, but for the Wii U? The traditional Nintendo IP won't cut it. They need more RPG's, they need a AAA horror franchise, they need an MMO.
