I feel like Nintendo is in big trouble at this point. Here's why:

The similarities you mentioned are there, but that doesn't make it the same strategy.

When Nintendo was about to launch the Wii, they talked about the business book Blue Ocean Strategy. The book clearly defines what that is and the Wii matched that definition. Since the Wii U does not match it, it can't be the same strategy. You have no valid counter-argument.

Wii isn't blue ocean by the modern context either. There are now many different ways for consumers to get easy-to-play, casual-centric software. So by definition Wii is not blue ocean period. You have no valid counter-argument. 

This response highlights your problems in such discussions. You don't know what blue ocean strategy is and you are unwilling to educate yourself on the subject. The definition of blue ocean doesn't change, not in the present and not in retrospect.

How can something be blue ocean when its being imitated and offered a 1000 different ways by competitiors?

That's like saying the GameCube is by definition a blue ocean idea too, as its the successor to the NES, which was once a blue ocean product. Obviously things changed from 1985 to 2001 and Nintendo found themselves no longer as the unique one of the bunch. 

Casual gaming is not blue ocean anymore, that's the bottom line, you can hide behind a dictionary if it makes you feel better, we all have seen the very obvious collapse in sales for titles like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Brain Training, Nintendogs, Guitar Hero, etc. while smartphone/tablet gaming has exploded.
