I think Naznatips summed it up best:
People, maybe you can't tell cause you weren't there, but the mainstream gaming press hates Nintendo. It's not something grounded in logic. They complain about Nintendo not showing enough hardcore games, but when they do they complain about 3rd parties getting no attention. Nintendo fills their booth with half 3rd party and half 1st party games, and then the media complains that Nintendo didn't have enough good stuff of their own to show. They announce sequels to games that will NEVER sell as well as Wii series games, just for the Hardcore (SMG2, Metroid, Golden Sun), and people still complain.
As an all-platform gamer who just spent 4 days in a row with these people, allow me to present you with a shocking revelation: the press is biased.

And when this is who represents your audience, you have a red ocean.
Plus it makes it really unreasonable to wonder why Nintendo abandoned them. They abandoned Nintedo first.

The problem, as others in this thread have pointed out, is the DS: the enthusiast press has eventually come to embrace it (albeit only two years after its release). It can't be a Nintendo thing; for that to be true, we'd have to have a reason why the DS escaped being painted with this brush (even if it took two years for that to happen).
