Everyone realizes the extended market ("casual") migrated to mobile, right?
You don't have to like it or even accept it, but that's the way it is.
At this point in the video game industry, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Nintendo's future lies with its past; namely with the core group of fans to whom video games are synonymous with Nintendo IPs as well as the portion of the overall larger core demographic that supports any and all solid titles and franchises, regardless of platform.
There's simply a bigger market for mobile games on Android and iOS, PC/Mac and then PS4/XB1, which is reflected by the level of developer support each is currently experiencing.

The core fans weren't enough to help with the Gamecube though, which suggests Nintendo is approaching a dead end in the console space.

Nintendo's is a shrinking market. It's unfortunate they did little to change that during their "feast" period with the Wii.
Unless something changes, Nintendo systems will simply be the proprietary hardware required to purchase in order to play their games. That's not what I consider to be the best market for their software.
