This is just one of the effect of the war of attrition 3rd parties attempted on Nintendo and the Wii. This is part of the backlash, and Japan is feeling it harder because the Wii was dominant there from its launch.
Everything is going according to predictions (mine at least).
Besides, what the Tose head says isn't that Nintendo's growth is bad for all publishers, it's bad only for those that refused to support Nintendo systems, and published games for the two others instead.
Tose's insight is good because it comes from the inside, giving a better picture of the situation than what's apparent.
Fortunately for the western devs, the situation was not as clear cut, so they still have time to adjust their strategy, thanks to the XB360's lead.
