The guys bring up a great point. Nintendo doesn't seem to follow the older gamers who grew up with their consoles. The ones who like Nintendos product will buy it but Nintendo isnt making great strides to create newer and more mature characters for people who grew up with them. These guys made that point and its always been my point. They don't care about me as a gamer in most cases but some of their games are still fun in a "sit on the couch" kind of way.
When they are talking about innovating, everyone unless you've been living under a rock knows Nintendo has been an innovator since the beginning. The problem therein when you rephrase to properly is that they are really not making new games to test their new hardware. They aren't thinking about the art of creating, just the technicality and that makes it look like a machine-like product rather than a fresh and new ooooohh and ahh type concept. Sure, once and a while you can use gimmicks like the wii and make people go gaga for a while but the fanfare for that will burn out quickly just like the Wii did after four years.
Someone must ask themselves why is the PS3 and Xbox 360 sold less yet have a more stable audience between them than the Wii? Why do they have more utility?
Nintendo needs to think about these things and see that the trends are changing.
The guys said it best that Nintendo does from the outside looks like they are doing the same thing when the inner parts are different. They need an image change so they can gain new older gamers instead of just an audience of nostalgic gamers. Everyone knows Nintendo targets the younger generation but in this day and age when they stuck in a rut they need the older gamers who grew up with their consoles and have turned their backs because Nintendo turned their backs on them.
