Nintendo's problem is not enough fanboys. Sony has an army and MS has mainstream appeal+ad money+(at one time) price advantage. Sony could release a turd on a stick and still sell PS4 numbers. The Nintendo fanboys have already bought the U, that pool has dried up. Sony and MS fanboys are buying their consoles in record numbers despite lack of new and exclusive experiences just as a way to get a head start on the console war.
Nintendo could release a console 2x as powerful as PS4 with definitive versions of all 3rd party games and you would get the same people championing 1080p 60fps saying that they will stick with their company even if there versions are inferior.
People that own the U are mostly general gamers, they probably have a PS3 or 360 and only the fanboys will buy the multiplat games on the U despite those games usually being the ones with the least effort and features. Just like the Wii they want to see how much crap the owners will put up with and just like last gen, the garbage efforts sold like garbage. Nintendo doesnt have enough fanboys to buy the shit efforts and therefore its not worth 3rd parties to make any effort.
edit: He also mentions that Nintendo fanboys are no longer but XBO fanboys. I doubt there is more than a dozen on the internet.

So basically only fanboys are allowed to buy new consoles... Good to know
