I don't think that's really a valid thing for you to say when the two highest rated first party games from that list were made by Nintendo, and it's looking to be a repeat with at least one of their games this year and gen

Yeah that's great that they have two really high rated games (though they're both the same game selling to the same people twice), but people need a lot more than a couple games throughout the generation. There's a reason Wii was all but dead halfway though the PS3's lifespan even though they released at the same time. There's a reason Wii U had a lifespan of like 3 years. Nintendo's software output is terrible overall unless you're one of the people who just love playing the same 5 franchises Nintendo puts out on every system, and they have no 3rd party support to fill the gaps either. 

A couple games throughout the Wii generation? Ok. I'm pretty sure Wii wasn't dead in 2009/2010, it still got a solid amount of good games in both of those years, and sold 21.2 million units and 17.3 million units respectively. Wii really started to fall a cliff in 2011 where it sold a still respectable 11.5 million units, and got a lot less in the way of releases. C'mon, Wii U had a lifespan of at least 4 years . Same 5 franchises, do you even know what you're talking about? Off the top of my head, Super Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Yoshi, Kirby, Xenoblade, Metroid, Mario Party, Mario sports titles, and even more. That's a bit more than 5.
