No, power is the reason why they can deliver all kinds of experiences and not just cater to a specific kind of fan. Power does not make games worse, it just gives developers more freedom. What they do with their freedom is their choice.

Believe it or not but even Nintendo developers would welcome it if they had more freedom to develop their games instead of being so restricted on extremely closed platforms.

They do not produce great games because of how restricted the platform is but in spite. Now imagine what they could produce if they're freed from the shackles.

But it's very possible to do. Saying Nintendo should go third party because they don't have the most powerful console is to say they can't provide amazing experiences without it, which is false. I have enough faith in the talent of game developers to believe they are capable of making new great experiences on any platform, even (as I mentioned before) the 3ds. It's their job to be able to do that. 

 

Plus there are games in which I couldn't imagine playing without whatever Nintendo places on their hardware. Splatoon with the game pad really worked as the motion controls were simple, I could see the map without having to look it up on the main screen, squid jump is unique, and the whole experience felt intuitive. Pokemon on handhelds felt right. Wii Sports with motion controls was pretty fun and paved the way for new audiences along with Wii fit and others. Prime 3 felt great with motion controls as well as Skyward Sword with the sword gameplay.
