This was an attempt to create a new Star Fox game for a new system and after a long dev cycle, 130+ people working on the game and a short delay, the game simply isn't selling well enough for Nintendo to see this as profitable for them.

It was a decade since the last new entry in the series and so I fear that after this attempt they may not decide to create a new entry for a long time.

Well it was also on Nintendo's worst selling system of all time, which is already on its last legs, so... that's another major factor.

 

That didn't stop Splatoon, a new IP that no one thought would have any impact, selling over 4 million units and becoming an absolute hit game for the company. 

Nor did it stop remakes of The Legend of Zelda selling millions of units. 

 

First Party software sales of other games have proved that there is demand for Nintendo software on the system and games like Mario Kart 8 have sold over 7 million units on an install base of under 13 million. In other words, these games are achieving very high attach rates.
