So, the VG industry needs Nintendo as the leader

The Wii wasn't really a leader among the core audience. At least half, if not more, sales came from the casual audience, which is very fickle, and it showed when all of them jumped ship half way through the generation for iPhone and Android.

It was the leader and numbers proves it, please leave arbitrary measurements out.

Those arbitrary measurements are the reason Nintendo is doing so bad right now. They failed to see that their console was built with casuals, who had long abandoned the platform, and thus made the mistake of marketing the Wii U as a casual console.

Numbers don't show everything, not even close.

Not even close. Wii U is not a casual console, but a failed casual console. Instead of going full with the tablet controller they went with something that is not a traditional controller and neither a tablet.

Also, there's nothing for those casuals to play that they haven't played before on Wii. Unlike the hardcore market who can eat the same game over and over but with just different name or characters, they demand new experiences, like Just Dance, Kinect Sports, Mario Kart Wii (using motion), Wii Fit or Wii Sports or the revival of classics like 2D Marios (NSMBWii)

Wii Play on the other hand failed to reach those heighs because is basically a Mario Party with Miis.
