Nintendo's getting what it deserved. Nobody wants to develop for Nintendo for a reason. That aside, it's not why they failed here.
They failed for 2 reasons, which I state over and over so I'll go ahead and do it again.
1. They failed to cater to the "hardcore" gamer by not bringing out any actual games.
2. They failed to cater to the "casual" gamer by naming the thing *3DS* and having no marketing at all for it here. You know what a parent thinks when they see the 3DS? "I'm not buying another DS for you Jimmy. You already have one."
