Some people in this thread including the OP, and lots outside, still believe that this is a problem for Nintendo. But like with the DS, this is not a problem for Nintendo, this is a problem for 3rd parties.
I guess some people just want to find a crack in Nintendo's armor.
But as time goes, it looks more and more apparent that 3rd parties not supporting Nintendo are bound to failure. Failure can be bankruptcy or losing market share and money.

So secrecy didn't cost Nintendo anything. It's one of their protection, ans Six Axis should be a powerful hint that they did very well to keep secrecy.

Nintendo has changed the industry. The longer people won't admit it, the wronger they will be, with daunting consequences.
As amazing as it looks, Nintendo doesn't need 3rd parties to succeed, so now 3rd parties will have to adapt or die. Nintendo didn't rely one bit on 3rd parties to make the DS and the Wii a success. It's clear some people have a problem understanding that, as they're in denial and are stuck thick in Sony's strategy.
It's amazing that a small company like Nintendo went against an entire industry (with mighty opponents full of money and several time their size) with the Wii, and not only threw them back, but also changed the direction, single-handedly. Have this even been seen before? Perfect plan, geniuses in action.

When I read the OP, or most people in denial, it always give this feeling that Nintendo should babysit the failures that won't support them. It goes off as loser whining.
