The only thing you're talking about is higher specs, which to me sounds like you expect Nintendo to do a WiiU2, which obviously would be a bad decision and hardly Nintendo's strength.
WiiU profits only fall when Nintendo is abandoning the console, which they usually do quickly. If they learned something from the transition from last to this gen, they would develop cross gen games (pretty much like they already did with Twilight Princess).
Also why would MS and Sony already show new hardware, when their own barely launched. Just to piss off Nintendo? They would harm only their own console sales with that.
Trying to create a second Wii-like success should be their priority and not giving a console life support that will probably never turn profitable at all.
A lot seem to forget that the thing needed R&D to even exist, which was only possible due to the huge profits they got from Wii and DS sales.

If Nintendo wants third party support, they need similar specs. What do you thinks more reasonable, creating something completely new and hoping it catches fire like the Wii or making a console that has comparable specs so you get third parties and super powerful HD Nintendo games?
And announcing the PS2 over two years before release in order to sh*t all over Sega didn't hurt the PS1 or the PS2, so why exactly wouldn't both companies be on board to cut the legs from Nintendo when its new console could steal sales away from them or create an XB360 situation?
They have a machine that's pulling in profits that are actually on the rise. Why rush into killing those profits on a machine that will likely be subject to smear campaigns from machines that WILL be more powerful if only because tech is evolving rapidly?

So basically you think it's a better idea to copy Sony and MS and just make a powerful machine where consumers need to pay $400 (and Nintendo probably still losing money) and then hope that third parties will hop on board instead of trying to catch the casual crowd again like Wii did?

Yeah. I think its pretty clear the market that bought the Wii and DS have moved on. The only way Nintendo gets more marketshare is to try to take it from Sony and Microsoft because they clearly aren't taking it from tablets/phones.
