I disagree. The kind of games they were focused on first party wise and not having 3rd party support were the main reasons why their home consoles didn't do that well most of the time. If what you're saying was the case, they should have just went with handhelds if they were gonna do "one pillar" because it did alot better in a pretty much uncontested market.  

I think you are both right as it's a combination of these things. Nintendo had less resources for their home consoles because of their two pillar strategy and thus released fewer games. At the same time, their "home console experiences" (more complex games with a focus on graphics) didn't resonate as well with their customer base as the simpler, easier to pick up handheld games. 

I can agree with that.
