I don't really buy the argument that the number of people who are interested in Nintendo IP has gone down significantly, I don't think Wii U is proof that people no longer like Nintendo, more like when Nintendo doesn't adapt to certain changes in the market and makes a plethora of mistakes than their platform will suffer which means Nintendo IP won't reach their potential sales.

That's the thing though, it isn't just their hardware that has failed to adapt to the market, but their software as well.

People still want Mario Kart and Smash Bros, but they no longer want an almost entirely E-rated lineup. They want more diversity than that, yet Nintendo's output remains extremely homogenous.

You mean that same software that very critically acclaimed, that won prizes and that is selling like hot cake!? That's not true at all, point is that nobody wants Wii U because its totaly failed platform, not because Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are still E rated.

Nintendo's software output is extremely lacking in variety. It's fine to make some E-rated games like Kart and Smash, but you need to balance it out with games like Uncharted, Halo, Gears of War, or The Last of Us.
