Nintendo's thing is to add something that hasn't really been done before. motion controls, dual screens, 3d, gamepad etc are just recent ones. You can't blame for trying, but they seem to make systems for their own games more than anything.
But personally, I think Nintendo's problem is it's image. It's always been associated with kids (not a problem on it's own). In the 80s and 90s this was fine but failed to keep up after that, while Playstation, Sega and later Xbox appealed more to everyone else. The thing is Nintendo's games have always been good but for some reason they are often dismissed abit as a joke. I don't understand why but also the 3rd party problem it had since the N64 has also been bad. They aren't arrogant but they somehow aren't very liked.
Also, I fail to see how making Nintendo systems more like Xbox and Playstation will make them more popular. That part of gaming is already extremely competitive and also I like the different approaches taken by these companies. It makes Nintendo systems worth owning I think if you play alot of games like me (the differences in games between 3DS and Vita makes them both more than worth it). Xbox don't appeal to me very much because of the fact it is so similar to Playstation in it's approach and games.
