Great post.
You're exactly right about Mario Galaxy, with the breakdown of hard and easy stars so "anyone" could play the game through beating Bowser. Read the Iwata Asks interviews about it, if you haven't.
"[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.
