Was Nintendo's 2008 flop of a lineup merely an issue with perception?

@Soriku I think you'll find the HD consoles still beat the in terms of quantity at least if you take away FPS's but that's irrelevant . I won't dispute the fact that people may use the Wii purely for the core experience , i'm not trying to call anyone who does a casual gamer or a fanboy .

But when you look at what the HD consoles offer to the core gamer , it seems hard to justify using the Wii as your only core console. This gen Sony and MS and seem to have a greater respect for the core gamer than Nintendo do, probably due to the fact that their success relies more heavily on the core gamer, traditional developers seem to have more respect and confidence in the HD consoles which translates to more 3rd party support .

I read Nitnendo was considering not releasing a core game released in Japan in the US , this may even shed light on Nintendo's stance with the core gamer.

 I have a 360 and a Wii. I honestly could not disagree with you more. The Wii gets more of my time for core games. A lot of the core game advantage the PS360 has comes from a couple of genres really. Then again, I am an extremely picky gamer who thinks most games suck and aren't worth playing.
