There's one pretty big flaw with your argument. The potential PS4tendo market may be smaller, but we know it's there. We've seen gamers buy powerful consoles with ample 3rd party support every single generation and all signs point to that trend continuing. The NintendOUYA potential market however is purely hypothetical. If such a market existed they would already be buying Wii Us, but they aren't. If you're entire argument is based on the price of the console then surely rather than making a new console that will have to be ridiculously underpowered to get that kind of price, wouldn't it be better to just keep the Wii U going for another gen and give it a hefty price cut?

The Wii market, the DS and 3DS market were hypotetical?

They aren't the same as the potential NintendOUYA market.

The Wii had motion controls which were hugely successful at the time and is what made the console successful, you've proposed nothing similar for NintendOUYA that would draw in the crowds the same way. The DS and 3DS are handhelds so have a completely different appeal than a home console would. Besides that, I don't recall any of them being as cheap and underpowered as you propose making the NintendOUYA. Maybe they became that way as the gen went on, but they didn't start out like that.

I said it to another user, a NintendoOUYA is an extermization, I'm not suggesting they should make a console like it but what I'm suggesting is Nintendo shouldn't go after AAA support with fancy hardware.

You say handleds have a completely different appeal than home consoles, that's correct and that's exactly what I am suggesting. If the appeal of PS and XB consoles is based on graphic fedelity and online capabilities, Nintendo should focus on alternative ways to appeal gamers (and this is not to be confused with hardware gimmicks), an alternative way to appeal is an alternative way to market your console: different strenghts, different weaknesses.
