It's weird but the safer Sony is, the more successful they are. The riskier Nintendo is, they either fail miserably or hit success as well.

Gameboy made portable gaming a thing.
Gameboy color had color.
Virtual boy...
64 changed movement abilities.
GameCube had 3d technology designed for it that was never used.
DS had Touchscreen.
Wii had motion controls.
3ds had 3d without glasses.
Wii U had gaming around your house.
Switch has gaming completely on the go while still connecting to the TV.

Nintendo hasn't made a normal, PlayStation like device since the SNES. I don't even know what they'd sell like if they did, it's been so long.

I would say the N64 and GC were "normal" consoles. 

Why? The N64 introduced rumble pack, a mid-generation upgrade part to put in the slot with DK64, a controller that was drastically different than anything they did prior or have done since.

GameCube was originally designed to have 3d and internet (from what I've read), had wireless controllers, was disc based rather than cartridge, introduced c-stick (their first attempt at dual stick), memory cards to take your save files to another person's device, etc.
