What I gather is that Nintendo is growing frustrated with trying to sell consoles. Aside from the Wii era they have been in tough with consoles for 15 years now and it's finally starting to burn them financially.
Truth is the market for a "family friendly" console simply isn't there anymore. The console market is driven by people who want something more along the lines of what Sony/MS offer, not Nintendo's model of basically a modernized N64 every gen.
The Wii was just a freak success, not a sustainable business model in the long run.
Maybe a Steam-meets-Netflix type service might be under consideration? One where the consumer doesn't have to pay for any hardware or just a moderate cost?
