Ubisoft arem't the only ones that tried to cater to the audience. EA actually put a lot of effort into it especially in the Wii days. Not only did they come out with new IPs like Boom Blox, but they actually tried to adapt their sports games to make them more appealing to Wii's audence with the "all-play" series. They tired a whole bunch of shit. Some of it stuck, most of it was a bust. They even took a lot of it to the Wii U before giving up entirely, and now their approach to Switch is as safe as safe can be.

And yes, total egg on my face about the Asssassin's creed series.

Yes, you're right, EA tried actually on Wii. And with BoomBlox being a million seller I wouldn't say it was without success.

On Switch already are experiments underway. Go Vacation (Namco), Sports Party (Ubi), Hyper Sports R (Konami) for instance trying to get again at the motion sport games. Civilization shunned so far consoles but tries with Switch.

I just want to be clear, I agree with you in General. I think Nintendo's audience does need to be treated differently than Sony or Microsoft's. It seems as times have gone on that Nitnendo's audience becomes narrower and narrower in its tastes, and I think it's smart to try and cater to that.

Nintendo doesn't get big third party games because third parties know that big games won't sell. The continuously test this in some form of another (like Bethesda is with the Switch) and they continuously get the same feed back - "This is neat and all, but we're really not that interested. Ohh look a new game published by Nintendo!".
