So, they must once again look at the NES and Wii and understand why those consoles were so successful...or I wonder if they do understand but want to, let´s say, force some other 'philosophies' on customers in hopes they´ll accept them.

That, and they also need to realise that they're on their own; getting 3rd party support should be considered a bonus, not a requirement for their consoles to be successful. HW must be designed for 1st party titles first and foremost because those will be what makes or breaks the system.
Nintendo made a big mistake when they didn't use the DS/Wii profits to heavily invest in 1st and 2nd party studios. Instead they had to rely on 3rd party scraps and they had to delay games because of a lack of resources. They have also missed the opportunity to support mid-tier games when pretty much every other company began to reject them. While mid-tier games may not sell systems on their own they're nice to have inbetween big releases to avoid droughts. |
100% agreed! Hopefully they'll do this next gen!
