Happy, if you look at the sales its about similar to last gen as well. Except Nintendo couldn't reach the market dominance that Sony had. Its obvious that their offerings play into it. They need to build a unified image that they are for the core as well as the casuals and they will bring. The Wii U is finally sending that message but of course the third party is doing all the work for Nintendo while they do the same thing. I would definitely like to see Nintendo touch a more new mature title (Dont say metroid anyone, I swear to god) that could expand their brand image because whether people like it or not they are still Disney.

I couldn't agree more. If you're buying the console saying "they are offering me the core games I want", but the manufacturer themselves aren't participating, it does lead to doubt and scepticism in the adopter. It may be correct or not, as the U will have core exclusives like DQ, MH, Bayo, ZombiU, Raymans, but the hope one has to keep is that this trend should continue.

You would ask yourself "why shouldn't it continue?", but at the same time it would inspire much more confidence if Nintendo actually participated, and with the fact that they actually have the IPs to support it (Metroid >:--), and Zelda), as well as the option of making a whole new IP to try the flavor Tor was mentioning, there is room for it.
