1) Mario Kart 8 has been in the Top 10 worldwide for 2 months now. That's _worldwide_ mind you - meaning MK8 has been in the top 10 in every region for 2 months. No one is saying Mario Kart 8 is all Nintendo needs from here on out. However, to pretend Mario Kart 8 isn't doing anything for the Wii U, let alone Nintendo themselves, is very short sighted. You also claim the Wii U is selling poorly. I'd say, in this present time, the Wii U is finally selling at acceptable numbers. So, it's no longer selling poorly. It's selling better than the Xbone.
2) You're very confused. The PS2 hype didn't kill the Dreamcast at all. The Dreamcast was still a commercial success. Sega simply went out of business. The Jaguar is a failed console. The Virtual Boy is a failed console. The 3D0 is a failed console. The Dreamcast is NOT a failed console.
3) The point of the link was to show you that Nintendo's female-centric strategy is already active. Will Animal Crossing come to the Wii U? Of course it will. Will other female-centric games from Nintendo hit the Wii U? Eventually. To assume Nintendo isn't going target the female market is just silly - especially after Nintendo has already shown their plans to do so.
4) The only FPS I've seen that pushed consoles was Halo. A large library of FPS could potentionally push consoles, but outside of Halo, this is certainly not the case.
5) Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were the only FPS from Nintendo. Turok was from Acclaim and the rest are old PC ports. The Xbox and the X360 had way more FPS than what the N64 had.
A lot of what you're saying is based on wild assumptions and misinformed opinions. You should honestly research some of the stuff you're saying so you can get an idea of whats really going on.

The Dreamcast was not a commercial success. Well, I guess it was at the beginning - but by the PS2 was announced and gaining popularity, the Dreamcast was done for.
Sega literally couldn't even GIVE AWAY Dreamcasts by mid-2000. Watch the history of Dreamcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMAg46zaRbs
Sony wasn't the ONLY thing that killed the Dreamcast, but Sony was definitely the main slayer. Even if Sega had money, there was no way the Dreamcast was going to survive that generation.
And yes, I know Nintendo is female-centric with the 3DS. It says so in my OP.
And I said on the Nintendo 64. Nintendo didn't necessarily have to publish them.

1) The Dreamcast still sold.
2) I watched the video and they didn't explain how the Dreamcast died. They just showed that the PS2 trumped the Dreamcast, but it certainly didn't kill it! The GC nor the Xbox were killed off by the PS2, so why would the Dreamcast? The reason the Dreamcast died was because Sega couldn't afford to keep itself afloat. When Sega went out of business, they still had Dreamcasts in stock. That's what the video was glossing over. Of course, there's several reasons why Sega went out of business, and some of the things that hampered the sales of the Dreamcast, but nothing that suddenly made the system irrelevant aside from Sega going bankrupt.
3) This is your opinion. If Sega had money, it would take more than the PS2 to kill off the Dreamcast. Remember that the GC and the Xbox both survived that generation.
4) Not with just the 3DS.
5) Right.
