I would have agreed with you in the GameCube era. But now with the Wii I no longer have such faith that Nintendo really cares about games more then money. In the past good games sold high numbers of units. Even on the GameCube Nintendo's big franchises still raked in millions. Infact GameCube was just as profitable or probubly more so then Microsoft and many would argue even Sony.
But this generation what sells (WiiFit/WiiMusic/WiiPlay/WiiSports). These tech demo's made millions and millions. So cheap to develope and so much profit in return. So in my opinion Nintendo got greedy. I mean honestly did we need WiiFitPlus? only 6-new excersizes. Was Nintendo really trying to give us the best quality game with WiiFitPlus. Or how about WiiPlay? Was Nintendo really trying to give us a AAA+ game or were they simply trying to sell us another Wiimote? With WiiSportsResort was Nintendo really trying to give us another high quality title or were they simply trying to push people to pick up WiiMotionPlus so that Nintendo could make more money with future titles?
Nintendo sold out, lets face it. Its no longer about the next great StarFox/DonkeyKong game instead its about making profit by producing games with low overhead and selling them for huge profits!
Who can honestly defend WiiFitPlus? Honestly I bought WiiFit last year and WiiFitPlus just looks like another money grab!
