Then there's obviously pokemon in 1994 I believe (or was it 1992) that just blew everything out of the water. We know that Nintendo is capable of these kinds of revolutions. The Wii Sports games sure lacked quality but they attracted buyers. Nintendo is able to do these kinds of things and it's not lightning in a bottle, it's a business philosophy. They just kind of lost the touch lately.

This right here is the key and Miyamoto has already explained the cause: In the eighth generation Nintendo was not interested in doing what is good business because that's boring.


Wii Sports is pretty much the definition of "lightning in a bottle" for this business. 

It's not repeatable.
