what you and malstrom don't see is, Nintendo is trying to expand its market. They want to use technologies to make the Game cube and N64 3D games so easy they become fun to the normal people. The none tek people like malstrom says.
Bring the Hard Core games to the mass markets by taking all the annoying things out with tools so they are as simple as 2D side scrollers
I don't know if they can pull it off. but if they do. they are opening up a new market to tap into.

Um, that's exactly what Malstrom sees Nintendo doing. What Nintendo is trying to do isn't unlike trying to add ingredients to chocolate ice-cream until you can sell it as vanilla ice-cream. Now the obvious question is: Why don't you just sell chocolate ice-cream AND vanilla ice-cream instead of trying to replace vanilla with fake vanilla? People know what they want and if they order vanilla ice-cream, then they better get vanilla. If they don't get served, they go elsewhere. And if they don't get served elsewhere, they buy nothing. In either case, they don't buy Nintendo products. That's the risk Nintendo is running into and they have been there before (Nintendo 64 and Gamecube).
How does an ice-cream business expand? By offering as many flavors as possible and by keeping the quality of its bestselling flavors as high as possible. What does Nintendo do? They seriously consider to reduce the selection for the customer and even worse, they try to replace the source of their success by something else. This is insane.

And nobody's saying their not. Quite frankly they don't have the capacity to, and hence why they try to serve multiple segments with one sitting. This would be an advantage to garnering broader third party support, as again it would leave Nintendo free to be Nintendo, and they would have less of an excuse to make big core-ish games. The best alternative for Nintendo in the short term (though the long term solution is more development teams and R&D capacity, which they are also addressing)
Once upon a time, that was considered one of Nintendo's strengths, to be able to build games to appeal across demographics.
Malstrom's ideas are like a radical political or religious ideology, he started off addressing real ideas and phenomenons in a way that the public needed, but as time has gone on, he's just twisted his own ideas around into this void that's quite frankly hostile to Nintendo and hostile to gaming. Cancerous, as i've said before.

If Nintendo was serious about serving as many segments of the market as possible, they would not have made Galaxy 2.
Also, if gaming stopped making the games that you like, and started to even show hostility to making the games you like, then wouldn't you be hostile towards the game industry?
From how I see it, his ideas are the same as when the Wii was new. It's Nintnedo that changed.
