It's simple, Nintendo tried to appeal to both the core and casual gaming markets, and failed miserably at it because the core market wants cutting edge technology, visuals and gameplay, and the casual market wants whatever the cool hip trendy thing of the month is (which right now ironically is the two new "core" consoles, PS4 and Xbone).
Nintendo caught lightning in a bottle with the Wii, and seriously thought they could replicate that by putting out another underpowered console with a gimmick controller and minimalist software. Now they're stranded without a paddle in the middle of their "blue ocean" while the guys with yachts and speedboats are waving to them in the distance.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
