“It is not necessary for us to deploy a huge number of people in order to develop such games,” he continued, stating that, more than ever, Nintendo is bringing in third parties when it does need to develop more graphically complex titles.

 

So basically Nintendo intends to keep developing cheap casual games, maximize profitability, cash millions, never innovate, and let 3rd parties take all the risks on the core gamers' market. Wait! Isn't that exactly what they're doing on Wii and 3DS? How courageous...

No, they just don't throw their money away. As they said, for the games that need high fidelity graphics, they are ready to  dish out the dough in house.

Iwata (from another piece):

"Take The Legend of Zelda franchise, for example, the fans must be looking for the graphic representations that they do not see as cheap at all when the title is released for the Wii U. When it is necessary, we do not hesitate to role out our resources."
