Seriously though in a nutshell I think the Apple/tablet/smartphone revolution forever has changed consumer electronics and it basically stole much/all of Nintendo's blue ocean thunder. Casual/cartoony gaming is still hip ... just on smartphones and tablets, not on consoles anymore.
That combined with horrible management and lazy execution on Nintendo's part.
The console business has now shifted back towards being driven by 13-35 year old males and Nintendo is feeling the cold shoulder of that audience because they have not catered to that group for the last 6-7 years.
