I hardly see what's wrong with any of that. The only thing that sounds out of touch is a belief that third parties will come around, but at the same time he acknowledges a need for their software to make the hardware features compelling.

Actually, the one that caught me eye the most was "We have received a lot of comments from consumers that the gameplay in “Nintendo Land” is interesting. However, we presume that they have not yet come up with the best words to easily explain how interesting it is to other people."

That's... Sony-esque.

I interpreted that as either a failure of marketing message, or of them subconsciously acknowledging that the appeal of Nintendoland is hard to understand, even if the package itself is a fun enough game.
