Nintendo's focus on controllers started with the Wii and they are still pursing this avenue of thought, which should worry investors greatly as it demonstrates they have no idea why the Wii was popular. The Wii was popular because of it's controller, BUT the majority of the market which bought the Wii were "casual", or better yet, transient, gamers who will not be coming back to the Nintendo fold because they are not gamers - playing Wii Sports with friends after a few drinks doesn't make someone a gamer. These people are not interested in another console as the Wii served them just fine. Therefore Nintendo should realise the Wii was a one-hit wonder and by innovating on the pad, they will not be able to replicate its success.

Exactamundo, they are trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Upon the plethora of reasons for the Wii U's performance, a key reason was that as well.

I even made a thread on it: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=207685&page=1

Nintendo is a formulaic company by their nature though, once they have success with what they perceive to be a "formula" they will try it again almost assuredly. 

The thing about this is Nintendo didn't even invent the Wiimote ... they purchased it from an American inventor who tried to sell it to Microsoft and Sony first. 

Nintendo's "original" attempt at wooing casuals with the Wii U failed horribly. 

And the other issue was we kept hearing how casuals are a different audience, but that is a two way street. I think some Nintendo fans wanted causal fans but thought they should then behave like core gamers, as in they should continue to like games and buy consoles if you keep pumping out more or less the same thing.
