Nintendo has very unique issues though, mainly born of naivety imo.

 

Oh you have no idea, I can't make up my mind what is wrong with nintendo. Naivety, traditionalism, stubornness, living under a rock..... combination of everything??????

Every single generation since after the SNES they have almost deliberately gone and looked for a way to bibically mess something up. And unfortunately for them, even though the wii was a "seemingly" big success, it pretty much sealed their fate for this generation. Because now nintendo's core gamer audience is practically non existant.

The Dreamcast failed as a platform and was culled after less time on the market and with mor sales than the WiiU as it stands. I mean by the end of this year, after two years on the market, the WiiU may not have even broken past 10M consoles sold in total. And its buffer platform, the 3DS is sufferring the stiffest competition from mobile that it has ever faced.... and its losing there too. Especially when you consider that these days parents can just buy their kids a $150 5" android phone that wouldn't only play games but at least let them be able to reach them (or track them lol)
