Looks like the votes are fairly split. I think what they have done the past 5 years or so has gotten them profits. But it is at the cost of the hardcore base. They indeed were very wise with the way they have played the market this gen. They are ending the cycle of the Wii and sales are reflecting that. For most of this gen they were the leaders and introduced video gaming to a whole new crowd.
By evidence of where they are in the console war this gen it is evident that they have not focused too much on Japan. However, they have forgotten some of the major third party developers that MS and Sony capitalized on for the hardcore base. It appears they are trying to get those back for their release of Wii U, which I am still wishy washy on their approach. There are a lot of questions with it.
