Although I didn't read the whole Iwata asks interview, when Iwata says "the general public's impression that Nintendo was casual grew as time went by" is a load of tripe. Not only is it disgusting that he resorts to "industry" newspeak, I have no idea where he got this idea from.
What people like me saw was that Nintendo wasn't becoming more "casual", but the complete opposite: they were becoming more "hardcore", "industry like" or "shit", take your pick. They were consciously refusing to make good games that made the wii successful, thus backing out on the promises made about wii games.
And I don't know what they've been smoking, but THAT controller sure isn't going to break down the "psychological" barriers, it's just raising them even higher.
