It's not just droughts but the games that Nintendo makes as well.   While they make games that appeals to hardcore NIntendo fans, they don't really make the kinds of games that appeals to the Playstation and Xbox crowd.    If Nintendo wants to create new Nintendo fans then they need to diversify their library of games.  They don't have to stop making games like Mario and Splatoon, but they also could use something a little more mature themed like a Gears or Uncharted type of game.   

Nintendo wants to be the Disney of video games, but they are doing a piss poor job as even Disney has brands like Marvel and Star Wars to expand their film lineup outside animated movies for kids. 

Nintendo has other franchises that they tried. Bayonetta, TW101, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Devil's 3rd, not to mention getting exclusives like Zombi U. Its not like they just decided to do only family oriented games. They did lots of different things. Its not their fault that it didn't fly.

I have zero understanding of statements like this. If you get the exact same games what's the problem. You just have to buy a box with a different logo on it.

Easy. I buy Nintendo systems because I want to play Nintendo games. If I wanted Sony games I'll buy a Playstation. The instant Nintendo goes 3rd party then I'm out. Its really that simple. The only way they go 3rd party and I continue to buy their games is if they launch a PC platform with a closed ecosystem where I can visit with other Nintendo fans in peace. I'm not going to get a Nintendo game on a different console and deal with a bunch of dude bro jerks who were raised on CoD and internet hate.

I think you've summed it up perfectly, it's not just about the games Nintendo makes if anyone has been on Miiverse  (a Nintendo community) versus N4G a Playstation community. One would easily see the difference is night and day between how the players talk about gaming!
