I think you're putting too much emphasis on NoA... Whether they publish them or not, the games still exist and thanks to NoE we can play them in English by importing them. And it seems an overreaction to me to entirely define Nintendo's releases by just them, as if the rest of the world didn't exist. Let's not forget that many people in Europe got used to regularly importing before because of the same reasons. If they could do it for several gens, you can't do it for 2 or 3 games ?
Don't get me wrong, NoA's decisions also bother me, a lot, but not to the point of ignoring the current upcoming games and pretending that anything not localized doesn't exist. In fact, there's constantly a lot of Japanese games for all platforms that don't get localized... I for one have imported a few over the years and I'm clearly not the only one.
Also, SCEA is certainly not perfect either as far as localization goes, with them passing on Demon's Souls, releasing Siren as a download-only and slightly censored, and skipping several PSP games. And Microsoft never got much Japanese games to publish, so I don't think you can evaluate them by just 2 or 3 games.
By the way, it should be noted that NoA has been publishing several Japanese games that weren't a given, like Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, Itadaki Street Wii (Fortune Street) and Super Fossil Fighters. They should at least get some recognition for these... After all, Nintendo might be the main reason we got the Dragon Quest ports on DS (which are also JRPGs !).
