Well considering every Nintendo console except the Wii has sold less than the one before it, Nintendo software alone clearly isn't good enough anymore.

Well considering, 3/5 of those devices were market leader, yes they are if Nintendo has a sound strategy with strong execution.

If there were enough Nintendo fans for that then the Wii U would be topping the charts every week, it was built mostly to cater to Nintendo fans after all. That isn't the case though, there just aren't that many people that want to buy a console solely for Nintendo games.

Most people aren't fans of companies, they are fans of games. When Nintendo offered consoles that redefined gaming for millions of people, they found success. Things like NES & Wii changed the way people played games and offered new game concepts that hadn't been used before.

The NES really didn't offer a "new way to play". Over time actually the gimmicks that Nintendo had to initially shove into the system like R.O.B. and the Zapper were barely/rarely used. People just wanted the meat and potatoes gameplay with the standard NES game pad.
The foundation the NES established still continues today even in platforms like the PS4. The Wii motion gaming craze meanwhile is pretty much all but dead in under 10 years. One was a fad, the other wasn't.
