I think the most important thing to get out of this is this statement (not direct quote):

"If you don't succeed on a video game, the only one at fault is you".

I've found it quite irresponsible and disrespectful that publishers and developers would even dare blame the user base for some of the failures or not living up to expectations of their video games. The failure of any product is always the one who created the product. Excuse can be thrown out left and right but the blame is still on you. Whether quality wasn't high enough (as this guy said) or marketing wasn't there (main problem with Wii 3rd party games) it's still the publishers fault. Blaming the users only pisses them more off and it is just bad PR. When Nintendo can go out there and get 10 million people to buy a game in 7 weeks (even if the brand is Mario) that shows that it is not the fault of the user base.
