ive supported Nintendo through their past 3 failed gimmicks. the Wii sold well but in the long run it was a flop. the 3DS is great but nobody really uses the 3D. the Wii U had some great innovations but ultimately it wasnt enough.

people dont want gimmicks anymore, and the fact is, Nintendo is sitting on a goldmine right now and refuses to dig down a few more feet. If they made a true next gen console that was actually powerful and used modern architecture it would be game over. people would be able to play all the latest Nintendo games and 3rd party games on one console. it really didnt help the Wii U that no 3rd parties supported it and Nintendo barely even made games for it.

all of their gimmicks are centered around new ways to play games. touch screens for more controls, motion controls for immersive gameplay, the gamepad for various reasons. and now the Switch. great, it can play games on the go and the big screen, but not if it doesnt have games.

Wii-U launch had great 3rd party support, people just don't want to buy a Nintendo console for games like Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Batman, Tekken Tag 2 and the various other AAA third party ports which the wii-u had around launch.

As for the Wii being a flop, describe how, keeping in mind that it came from a Generation where the GC had sold in the region of 20million units and it done almost 5 times that amount, how exactly is that a flop?

I'll admit as a generally Nintendo only fan that not many third party games appeal to me, though I got a Wii U a bit later due to being traditionally only a handheld gamer. My main third party games this gen are Kingdom Hearts 3D, Bravely Default, and Rayman Legends, ignoring Indie. 

I do want to try and possibly check out third party games at launch, if only to say that I did my 'duty', though not many appeal to me. If the options are all shooters I am sadly not interested.

And I do love how people want to pretend 100 million sold is a flop. If the fact they didn't have lasting appeal made the Wii a failure, does that make Call of Duty a failure because they are good for about a year. Same with sports titles.
