What would Nintendo have to do to capture some of Sony and Microsoft's audience

This generation is lost in that regard, but next gen they would need to shed their casual/family friendly image entirely, compete with Sony and MS in terms of specs, invest in multiple new IP that aren't platformers and don't use the art style they usually do. Heavily invest in online, keep it free. Get third parties on board.

But then that would be boring as it'd become the HD triplets, and it isn't what Nintendo is about, not to mention 3 consoles vying for the same audience?

But it's all or nothing if they want to win over the gamer/core gamer/frat boy ect ect

Dont think this is a good idea, as you said, 3 platforms going for the same audience? No thanks.

Nintendo should just do what they were doing before the Wii. Make a powerful console that is on par with the others, developer friendly, indie and 3rd party friendly. Make those crazy Nintendo gems they used to like 1080 Snowboarding, Metroid Prime, Starfox, do some new hardcore IPs etc, they shouldnt go after the dudebro audience but go for the hardcore audience that roam forums. Thats what made them big and people miss that old Nintendo. Shed away that casual image completely.
