Why would Nintendo make another Console after so many failed attempts?

Out of those I'd only say the bolded are 'big exclusives'. The others are smaller games that aren't going to have anywhere near as much impact.

Comes down to opinion in the end. 

No it doesn't.  Not in terms of game sales or system movers.

Yes it does, don't argue with me on this. I named titles off, you replied with your opinion of what  the big titles on Nintendo platforms would be. It's 100% opinion, not fact. 

Are you saying it's an opinion if one number is bigger than another?  No this is when we use the term "Wrong."  MarioKart 8 sold 2.65m and Donky Kong: TF hasn't even sold 0.7m.  DK is NOT a big game.  Fact.

If we're looking at the Wii U, nothing without Mario in it is a "big game". And even certain Mario centric IP are having a hard time -- Mario & Sonic was a big seller on the Wii ... a big dissapointment on Wii U.
