While factually true I agree that article is slanted towards a predetermined viewpoint. Plus it's confusing because it pulls NA info to substanciate it's Japan only conclusion.
The Wii is steadily slowing in Japan whereas PS3 and 360 are showing some growth.
And the point about the casual market being fickle is correct. Wii was all that for a while and now they are more distracted by other things. But Nintendo knew this and planned for this.
Iwata himself has said repeatedly, they must continue to surprise the consumer and give them new experiences. Wii Music fell flat - that was the problem here and the chink in Nintendo's armour. But don't think for a second that Nintendo does not have the next big thing lined up (Wii Sports Resort) to boost the market, and the next and the next.
