I still don't understand the logic of just making a Nintendo version of Playstation/Xbox, they don't appeal to the same demographic and the PS/XB crowd of 13-35 year old males has wanted nothing to do with Nintendo for about 20 years.

Look at Nintendo's top 50 best selling games, 48/50 are what we would consider casual-friendly (kids, females, parents). So the logical choice for Nintendo is to pursue the casual crowd which they clearly did not this generation.

They did pursue casuals with Wii U and 3DS. Who the hell launches a platform with Nintendogs and closes an E3 with a fire works display from Nintendo Land? Not a company aiming for hardcore consumers. Though you're right. Sony/MS are established there and no one but a minority of loud of Nintendo fans on the internet want a "me too" third console.  

There was a revolution in casual technology between 2007-2010 that caught Nintendo flat footed is what happened. 

So now they are making some hard choices about their company's direction. 

They were both half-assed attempts at retaining the "casual" audience while stealing away the "hardcore" audience which left it as being a device that catered to neither.
