I think a lot of people are overreacting in this thread. When any console maker is doing badly they get made fun of. Personally I think it's good that when a company gets arrogant it then gets taken down a couple of notches. It then forces them to come up with solutions and compete harder. Just look at Sony as the perfect example.
Sony launched a $600 dollar console which they expected people to get an extra job for if required to afford. Due to their hubris they were laid low until they finally were forced to become more consumer friendly and also made a massive investment into their 1st party studios and online network. All the while they maintained good 3rd party relations.
Even though I prefer Sony I like that there is competition as it benefits all gamers. We should have more solidarity as gamers and act less like tribals when it comes to the companies we like.
With regards to the guys on the panel some of their choice of words may have sounded anti Nintendo but in reality they are just pointing out the difficult position that Nintendo finds themselves in. I don't recall them saying anything which suggests that they want Nintendo to fail. It's as if constructive criticism automatically equates to people having an anti Nintendo agenda according to some people.

Nah, they were plain dismissive on invalid grounds (it only plays Nintendo games???? lol okay good reason there, as if that ever was an issue).

It seems that they forgot how to do that with the WiiU. And even with the 3DS, Brain Age and Nintendogs aren't as big as they used to be.

Nop, animal crossing, Mario Kart 7, SM3DL, Luigi's Mansion and New Super Mario Bros 2 disagree. I agree with you on BA and NDogs, but there are examples that prove they haven't forgotten. Also, Brain Age and Nintendogs may not be due to them forgetting, but due to the market being saturated with those ideas, and Nintendo needing to re-invent themselves, once again.

I would laugh too, the Wii U is a joke of a console right now. 3rd parties have all but abandoned nintendo even after they said at E3 last year they said they had full cooperation of them. A next gen console already needing a price cut is bad news especially coming off the amazing Wii.

A console selling at 100$ more than a predecessor needing a price-cut sooner, how illogical aye? I get why you're laughing it makes complete sense.

The part you are referring to I believe they were saying that as a result of poor 3rd party support that the Wii U is or will be perceived as a console on which people only get to play Nintendo games. That's not the same as saying that it plays only Nintendo games without pointing out why.
