I'm a Nintendo fan (not so much of a fan of Nintendo fanboys on this site - especially back in 2007), but I realize that I need to go elsewhere for 3rd party games (Sony for me). Honestly, if loyalty to a name on a piece of plastic is keeping you from going to other consoles, then that's just a personal problem.
Nintendo has always been stubborn in doing their own thing. I don't think that's bad, but you aren't going to get the best third party support. There really is no one to blame but Nintendo for this. No conspiracy or anything like that.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
