Nintendo is taking a break -- trying to leave room for the third-parties. It worked with the DS, it does not appear to be working as well with the Wii.

That's the reason for Reggie's comment -- it was a warning to third-parties who don't figure things out soon.

The Wii has almost matched the GC's output of first-party titles -- in two years. So Nintendo can't be faulted too much. Funny thing, had it been slower and released MK Wii this Xmas, no one would be complaining.

Warning against what? I know it has to be a warning, since Nintendo has no need to beg third-parties to join (they're doing fine on their own). And I know the industry is having major changes, with Nintendo's side reaping positive results while the HD side mostly negative. But it sounds like Nintendo has something bug up their sleeves.

The warning is that Nintendo has many titles it is ready, willing and able to develop and it could release them en masse until the cows come home. This would increase Wii demand (while lessening demand for the competition). It would also help move gamers away from Wii Sports Clones and several-year old Pitfall PS2 ports that Activision is trying to sell to better games.

In other words, Nintendo has plenty up its sleeves.

Oooh, sounds fun :p.
