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.

So what you're saying is they should just do another Wii U?

How? I said Nintendo should focus on making an accessible and affordable console, the WiiU is neither accessible or affordable.

In their intention they wanted to get 3rd party support while not alienating the cazuals and families market and, in they end, they failed at doing both things. The WiiU is a very bad and half-hearted attempt at doing a Ps4tendo. The WiiU did so bad, not beacuse they failed to follow a strategy, they didn't have a clear strategy to begin with.
