G4 got it right. A blog there blamed core owners of the Wii and DS for the lower sales. They should have bought those games and they didn't, traitors.
F---ing traitors, bitching for 3 f---ng years about no core games and then they turn up and, guess what, a list of excuses about why they won't buy them.
They are the ones to blame, with a little bit left over for 3rd party developers who were half assed and insulting to Wii owners for the last few years.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
