It surely lived up to Nintendo's expectations. It's Ninty that didn't live up to the expectations of Wii and its fans.
Wii didn't fail, Ninty did.

With all the great first party games Nintendo put out for the Wii, they somehow failed?

They basically carried the system on their own. The Wii is an awesome  system for Nintendo fans.

They are letting it die. It's not like if they release more new first party games for it they lose money, they would earn even more. Reggie even trolls American gamers not porting existing games to them. They started killing Wii far before its successor's release.

They launched 3DS last year and Wii U is coming this year. They had to shift  development to support their new systems.

Unlike the other two, they can't count on third parties to support their system in its' final months while they move on to a new console.

Then, by all means, at least port all the relevant games to USA and support its late sales there in the most cost effective way, if they already ported them to UK and Australia, the translation should already be almost done, they just have to mangle the English one to get the American one!    Reggie trolling American Wii gamers doesn't look like such a good idea to me, and even if it were, they are trolled for free, while they'd pay to have the games EU and Japanese gamers have  ... And for the games that wouldn't justify a port, just ditch the region lock and make their import trouble-free!
