So what I get from this is that Iwata & co. caved in to public pressure? Sure looks like they did.
How is it that they miss the fact that the third parties need them more than they need the third parties?

"Evolve", hah. They're just trying to capture both audiences, and as I see it now, this will only end up in alienating them.

no third parties dont need them, you want support for your console, you have to do things to get support for your console. Sony does it, MS does it, what makes Ninty so special that they thought they didnt need to do this. I for one am happy with this direction, they are taking, they are serious about getting 3rd party support

They are heading toward ruin. They are trying to capture a userbase that has no interest whatsoever in their consoles.

because their console didnt have the games that that userbase wanted and if it happen to have it, it was far worse than the competitions. You have the games people will go to you, you dont they wont, that simple

Because multiplats are gonna sell it, oh yeah.

Most gamers arent fanboys that hate on Ninty just to hate them, let that go. AND LOL! Really ?? What you think millions of people bought the PS1 despite Sony being an unknown in gaming, because of their 1st party?? PS2 is the best selling console of all time because of Sony's 1st party??? Ratchet & Clank is not that cool

Third party exclusives. And by then, they will almost "exclusively" be done for. Sony's first party? Never said that. Try Ridge Racer, GTA, Final Fantasy, Tekken, and so on.

And no, most teen-young adult gamers have no affection for Nintendo, and most see it as kiddy thanks to the fine efforts by Sega, Sony, and Microsoft (more Xbox than MS, but Xbox IS MS :P ). That is the demographic they're trying to capture, and that is the demographic that will be well occupied by PS3 and 360 until they are both succeeded. Multiplats aren't gonna win them any new sales, especially by the time it releases against a cheaper PS3 and 360 with far more robust libraries and a fine hardcore name to them. The WiiU is not a name, but a shot in the foot as far as that demographic goes.

I'm 39 but I guess I belong in that teen-young adult game categorie.

I've never bought a Nintendo product but honestly it isn't due to Sony or MS. The fault lies mostly with Nintendo advertising and the way they have been presenting their games for the past 10 years. The only game from Nintendo that has ever remotedly interested me was Zelda and every gen there are more games released on my console than I have time to play so buying a second console is out of question( money isn't the issue, the issue is I finish every gen with unopened games still in their plastic wrap). One disclaimer : I hate hate hate platformers.....
