You cannot really compare today's gaming environment with 15-20 year old consoles.
Today's consoles are ruled by 3rd party publishers, exclusives are just a small bonus. EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Take2 control the market, and failing to ensure their games on any system is a sure-fire way to irrelevance.

No, those mainstream 3rd party games primarily appeal to one demographic, teen/adult males, their are many other demographics out like kids, women, parents, non-gamers. DS/Wii did an excellent job at winning these crowds over but 3DS/Wii U have not, we can sit here and pretend it's impossible to win these people over again because of smart devices but that's pretty short-sighted.

No, those people are never coming back to consoles, it's done. Women, parents, grandparents will never buy another Nintendo console, or any other.
Can you imagine either PS4 or Xone sales if only one of those four developers wer missing...I assure you they would take a steep nosedive. And here you have a system where all four are missing - no wonder it cannot sell outside the hardcore followers even at a fraction of XOne/PS4 price. And without 3rd party onboard for NX, they won't be able to give it away...
