I'm sorry, this is the most blind article I've ever read.

Reggie says; "developers don't get what the Wii is about. They should be putting their top teams on this"

then this guy comes along and says; "It's not their fault, they can't do the amazing things on your console that they can do on the other consoles!"

Which is itself an example of NOT "getting it"

The fact is, it is harder to put those amazing F***ing graphics on the Wii, it's also a lot harder to put really tight and well thought out controls on the Wii, but with those controls, you can do so much more than the 360 or PS3 will EVER be capable of doing, but if you don't put your best teams on the effort, those efforts will always fall short and not meet up to the high expectations of the hardcore nintendo crowd.
The real problem is that the Hardcore Nintendo Crowd is actually very large, but also very discerning. You have to put quality effort into all aspects of the game, not just come up with a few cheap gimmics.
however Nintendo also has a large Clueless Consumer Crowd that is willing to pick up the castoffs that even the Clueless consumer crowd of the HD consoles wouldn't be willing to take.
and that's really the issue. nintendo has no middle ground. HD consoles have two groups, which are people that are discerning, and the people that are only a little discerning. Nintendo has groups that either HIGHLY discerning, or not discerning at ALL.
