Was just clearing things up since your post suggested that it wasn't. I feel Nintendo's success is contingent on their ability to innovate. Nintendo knows they can't keep up with Sony and Microsoft in an arms race; they need to stand out if they want to maintain any share of the market. Do you not think the Wii U was innovative albeit lacking in storage? That being said, personally, I think the main attractive aspect of Nintendo is the quality of the games offered on their consoles not the console itself. I know several people who purchased the Wii U just to play Smash and Splatoon.
I'm one of those people. I bought the WiiU because of Smash. Also got Capt. Toad (very adorable puzzle game) and Windwaker because I liked that game back when it originally came out. I have mixed feelings about the WiiU. The software I believe could have done better but when it comes to game use I feel it was a step above the original Wiimote. Nintendo does great with its IP's but I am pretty disappointed with the lack of third party support they give.
