Yes, that's why I mentioned the practicality of the matter. In a perfect world (or rather, in a world of perfect information) you could serve and maintain your market for an extended period of time, but in reality you don't know for sure what will actually work - except that which has already succeeded. This is true regardless of which framework you are working within.

For the record, I am aware that this is not actually Rol's, Malstrom's or anyone's position - I'm only showing the result of taking the concept, as expressed by Rol, to its logical extreme.

As for Malstrom, my only real objection against him (and his 'political agenda') in this context is the notion that no game developer can function/serve a market outside the proposed framework, which is simply absurd

I fail to see the logic in what you said.

All I see are people who put ideas forth that Nintendo is currently doing the right thing or at least not the wrong things. How can it even be up for question whether or not Nintendo should make more games that are similar to the ones that made the DS and Wii successful? There is only one answer and that is "yes, they should".

Because it doesn't matter what rights Nintendo has in what games they want to make. The market has the right not to buy what they don't like, and Nintendo needs their customers' money.
