>Nintendo choosing not to compete with PC and conventional consoles with its limited hardware and non-standard controls is a good thing
If we consider a lack of forwards comparability a virtue, sure. Nintendo makes great games but they'd be better if they ran on better hardware and had more conventional input devices. The pros greatly outweight whatever con that losing gimmicks like what TW101 or Zombie U had is.

>games are iterative so new games are better
Games are only iterative because most genres have failed to further themselves ever closer to their logical conclusion. The the 90s had numerous games that came extremely close and nailed a spectacular amount of things on the first few tries. Diablo, Mario 64, Doom, Street Fighter 2, the list of genre sparking games go on. But it's been one step forward (at best) and 2 steps to the side since then, so many of the games that sparked it all also still register as some of the best, if not the best, games in their genres or franchises, with as much time as has passed since then that's incredibly sad.
