How about A: announcing the release date and price of your console a little it earlier than a few weeks before it launches, and B: actually advertising the damn thing?
Oh and C: partnering with 3rd parties to promote your console as the flagship console for "insert AAA franchise here" the way both Sony and M$ do. Look at all the 3rd party game commercials that feature the 360/X1 or PS3/PS4 at the end... this is because both companies pay a little extra to promote their consoles alongside big releases. When was the last time you saw Nintendo actively promote a 3rd party game on their consoles? Never.
When you refuse to share the spotlight and make your console all about you, is it any wonder why 3rd parties don't want to deal with Nintendo?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
