Why? For continueing to cater to a market that helped them explode out of the rut they'd been in for two console generations and actually become a worldwide leader in the video game market? Or just making games you don't want?
Seriously, come on guys. This year you got Pilot Wings, Zelda OoT3D, Starfox 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Pokemon Black & White. Their casual selection this year? Nintendogs. And next year, your getting Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus, Mario Tennis, and Paper Mario. Your already getting what you want! (unless what you want is original franchise titles, in which case your fresh out of luck, lol).
Nintendo has long been catering to both the hardcore and casual crowd, especially in recent years, and while I certainly can't defend their dismal Wii line up for 2011, lets not forget that last year they gave Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment 2, Metroid Other M, and Donkey Kong Country returns. Nintendo has LONG been appealing to the "broad spectrum", and Reggie merely indicating that yes, they will continue to cater to the casual crowd that made them boat loads of cash doesn't change that.
Seriously people, come on. Don't act like Nintendo hasn't already been catering to you, and doesn't already have a line up of games for you next year, many of which I'm sure your excited for. I know plenty of people excited for Paper Mario, or who have been demanding a new Luigi's Mansion and Kid Icarus.

But Paper Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Super Mario, Pokemon? By gosh, where is Uncharted, where is Shadow of the Colossus. Certainly Sony is not the only one able to produce such content! Why is Prime not the Halo killer? Where is the marketing?
Why this is all important is because most of us believe Nintendo has the talent, they just aren't playing their cards right and need to improve brand prestige. How did Halo get so big and Prime get so small?

Where is Sony's Paper Mario, Zelda, Starfox, and Super Mario?
Different developers make different games. Further more, Nintendo HAS made Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Prime isn't a Halo killer because it isn't a Halo killer, it's nothing like Halo, and wouldn't even appease the same fanbase. Unless their marketing Mario or Pokemon, Nintendo typically sucks at it.
In any case, none of this is really the point. People aren't complaining about Nintendo not having an answer to Unchated, Shadow, or Halo. They are not complaining about the marketing. What they ARE complaining about, is that Nintendo isn't making hardcore games and won't be next year, which is simply not true.
