Well, that's my point though; Nintendo has made some actual effort with the Wii U and the thing is still barely moving. They'd be better off ignoring Japanese home console projects and trying to decipher the Western markets for a much needed pick-up of the pace over there.

They haven't done enough. (Besides, two of their releases: Bayonetta 2(+1) and Fatal Frame 5 appear to be better fits for the western market. Hyrule Warriors would do much better in the west as well, considering that KT found a blue ocean in Nintendo fans.)

They lack JRPGs, SRPGs, and fighters on the Wii U.

See, that's where my point plays in; the 360 had some terrific JRPG's and fighting games but still bombed in Japan, offering the right software isn't the only part of the equation, or at least a smaller one than before. The PS3 had a fantastic offering in Japan but still sold mediocre. The simple fact is that the time of the home console has come and gone in this market; they are showing open disinterest in the concept of home consoles overall and I think it would be wise to adjust to the market rather than attempting to force it onto old tracks that no longer move the carriage.

The 360 had a literal handful of JRPGs, and only two were moderately big names (both also got a PS3 ports with way more content). When those games hit, the console sold very well. No console will sustain itself off of frontloaded games that come once every 6 months.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
