Lineup. Obviously, powerful hardware will give the chance to nintendo to develop technical impressive games, but what I am most seeing in these subject is all about attracting 3rd party support, wich shouldn't be the focus or Nintendo's concern.
I mean what is the point in trying to get this almighty support when the mass appeal is only concentrated on a few franchises and genres, where the majority consumers are drived by their sport fanaticism, strong marketing campaign (with exclusive deals), photorealism graphics and/or because they don't know anymore options and they don't care enough to change this ,so they buy exactly what their friends and/or relatives have. It's stupid for Nintendo go after this, the changes of getting screwed are big.
I remember having this kind of conversation before and not end up well, because some users live in a world of fantasy where the lineup of their niche favorite games have a big importance on the sales of the consoles and that most of the userbase are ignoring Nintendo home consoles because of the lack of this "diversity". They base their personal experience and tastes as some kind of universal truth, wich is annoying because the level of the debate goes to the trash. This has to be avoided in this thread.
Back to OP, what Nintendo need to do is build a strong lineup to attract the 3DS and Wii U userbase together, who are the ones that actually care.
