Considering Hannah Montana sold through 400K copies in NA alone, I'd say Nintendo made a wise choice there. The "quality control" is just to avoid the glut of games that hurt the reputation of Atari. There can't be so many trashy games taking up shelf space out there that the majority of customers are ending up unsatisfied with their purchase. I'd wager a good portion of Hannah Montana's customers were satisfied with their purchase, regardless of the quality of the game. They're saying its hurting PS3, but this is how DS can hurt Wii in Japan, too. If there's 30 million people with DSs in 2 years, there's not going to be room for anything but DS software in stores.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
