I don't know ...
I suspect that if Nintendo had released 1 or 2 big games for the Christmas season there wouldn't be half as much bitching about Nintendo abandoning "Hardcore" gamers, or speculation about Nintendo's secret reasons for holding back. Being that Nintendo hasn't been announcing most Wii games more than (about) 3 Months in advance we don't really know what they had intended on releasing this Christmas season (over a year ago) and it is entirely possible that they had a couple of big games that were delayed into 2009.
