In my opinion this is an issue about game quality. I'm usually a pretty good sales indicator (I buy it - the market is all over it. I hate it - the market hates it too) and since 2010 the quality of Nintendo's software output just keeps decreasing. Zelda, Mario, Nintendoland, Pikmin - I was disappointed with all of these games (compared to their predecessors).
The last time this happened was during the Gamecube era when Nintendo forced developers to release games within 1 year. Right now (and I can't believe no one mentions this) it's because Nintendo underestimated the resources needed to develop HD games and their big internal restructuring (new hq, etc.). It so reminds me of the Gamecube days it's not even funny.
