The problem is that Nintendo is overflowing with new ideas. You don't need one singular new idea to dominate a console, you can build your console to accept multiple new ideas: that was the genius of the Wiimote, not that it was just a waggle wand, but could be used as a lightgun pointer, tilted on its side to run like an NES controller or a cheap substitute for a steering wheel, while still getting closer to the real deal than anything aside from those expensive actual wheel controllers you can buy (with force feedback and all), or modulated with a nunchuk to function much like a "traditional" controller. Nintendo then made a bunch of different new games to flow in with these new ideas. Some were good, some... less so (say what you will about Other M, but it was certainly a "new" take on Metroid). The Zelda games for DS are often poorly regarded, but they were certainly "new", and very distinct from any Zeldas that came before. A lot of times Nintendo's new ideas don't stick, but a lot of the crazier games they make show that they certainly aren't without them.
The console doesn't need to be as bold as the Wii to do "new" things, however. It just needs to be flexible.

are they really overflowing with new ideas? NOW?! cause if they were i dont think they would be in this predicament.

New ideas are not necessarily good ideas. Though their output for Wii U has been remarkably conservative thus far.
