I admit I'm very tired and assume that my post is flawed at various stances, so please correct me, as I'm well open for a nice discussion because I'm embracing this topic with passion. I love Nintendo, but I dislike their current ways and approaches.

The main flaw is to look at the market in a casual vs. core context which Nintendo is guilty of too. That's why the Wii U is a console that has no meaningful message, because it tries to address problems that don't really exist.
You wrote a lot, but it's a shallow analysis because it comes down to: "Nintendo betrayed the glorious core, now they are paying for it."

Not really saying that it's due to Nintendo shifting away from the core, because I did point out the many flaws that are ongoing. I'm saying that Nintendo lost a fragile audience, which is the casual player. There's no doubt that there's 2 different kind of gamers, even Iwata using the word core, as he knows that the difference exists, as most people do. Nintendo has indeed lost touch with them and there's no more Nintendo in the headlines anymore, as their new product isn't provoking any curiosity among people, it's just more of the same in the eyes of the common consumer.
It's not a shallow analysis by any means, you should try to read it again without the bias you have against me, I know you do :) and rightfully so. I may sound a bit harsh on Nintendo, but they are in a bad position right now aren't they? And what problems do you say Nintendo is trying to adress that don't really exist?
I've seen a lot of Nintendo supporters changing their opinions about Nintendo and their strategy as of late 2010, and though I'm sure I overcriticized Nintendo before then, time proved me right on many of my concerns.

your on point, i know many family and friends who bought wii and kinect, and i know for a fact that there not gamers, they saw a product that was really cool and could help them get fit, and they bought it, when i ask gamers about the wii, they just laugh, when i ask them about the ps3, they say the controller is garbage, at least they have respect for the ps3, lol.
