Okay, so how has Mario Kart changed in the last 10 years? Call of Duty changed its characters, settings, entire health system, storyline's, constantly evolving MP modes, introduced zombies with CoD: WaW etc. Compare Mario Kart 64 to the latest instalment and they are practically identical. Compare CoD 1, 4 and Infinite Warfare and apart from being FPS', they have almost nothing in common.
What about this generation? The Wii U was the single worst selling console ever if you look at sales rates, and the 3DS has been their worst selling handheld (outsold by the DS, Advance, Color and Gameboy), so I'm not sure what you're getting at, unless it's "Nintendo are doing badly and clearly need to rethink their strategy".
"A sizeable selection of high-quality 3rd party titles" - considering it doesn't have the essentials in there, I wouldn't consider it to be sizeable. Also, let's not digress, the Switch will not have such a selection, meaning it'll suffer from exactly the same issue as the Wii U did; appeal to Nintendo fans, a dying breed, and no one else.

This can't be serious. You obviously haven't played Mario Kart games.
Yes, Nintendo's problems with Wii U and 3DS were bad games, that can't be said about Wii and DS, that had great third party support. If your definition for gret third party support is the number of PC games ported to consoles, seventh generation was the first console generation to actually have "great third party support", because the PC ports weren't that common earlier. Besides, just because a console did not have your favourite game does not make the support bad for everyone else.

I've played all of them, so please tell me just how much Mario Karts 64 is different from Mario Kart 8. I'm hoping to see 18 years of improvements and innovation...

Oh dear. So first of all, CoD 4, Hawx 2 (first wasn't on Wii), NFS: Undercover, FIFA, Madden were not like for like ports from the PS3 or Xbox 360, and in fact the EA sports line-up were ports of the PS2/Xbox versions of the game. Also, no one cares if a game from the franchise is on the Wii; that's clasping at straws. So when yo want to compare the Xbox 360's/PS3's line-up directly to the Wii, the Wii doesn't even come close in terms of ports. If you want to argue that, do you really think anyone would take the PS2 version of Madden as an acceptable like-for-like replacement for the PS3 version?

Look, this is you grasping at straws with your argument. You're just moving the goal posts. First you go on to call a lack of certain games on a certain system, and after someone point you're wrong, all of a sudden the games don't matter and are the wrong games.
Why wouldn't anyone take Madeen on PS2 as acceptable replacement for PS3 version? That's excactly what people did.

Clasping at straws is thinking games are the same as long as the names match! People didn't take Madden on the PS2 over the Xbox 360 or PS3, even though the former had a much larger user base:

Do your research before making baseless claims.
