The main culprit is Nintendo's failure to attract the demographic that support those third parties. Graphics have something to do with it, but there are other reasons way more important. Nintendo simply doesn't have:

1. A marketing strategy that doesn't just focus on selling Yoshi and treat third parties games with the same importance as their own games.

2. A "mature" game series on the level of Halo or Uncharted in terms of popularity.

3. An online service that rivals the competition.

4. A console and controller that look SLEEK and SEXY.

5. (And least important) A technological level that doesn't feel is behing the times. (I personally think the PS4 is also behind the times. PC MASTERACE!!!!!++++++++)

About the PS4 eating the XB1 for lunch. I think that has more to do with Kinnect and the bad taste Microsoft's early anti-customers policies left. I do think that the perceived advantage in graphics did help the PS4 garner hype among the gullible, but the competitions blunders where the main reason for the win with the smarter costumer.

This is sssooooo not the least important of the points you made. If next year Nintendo launches a console that isn't at least comparable to the PS4 or Xbox One in power, they are fucked. They will never attract the type of gamer that buys third party games if the console is too weak to run those third party games at acceptable performance.
