No. Not negative reception. Criticism. Something that every game, no matter how good, will get. And yes, many fans DID like the DS games. At least the ones who played it did.
And you are in the small minority. The fanbase doesn't feel the way you do. The reviews show that. The very small yet very vocal minority feels the same way you do. I say it all I want because it's true. Most people love Skyward Sword.

The sales don't justify the investment.

You must be joking or should go back to school to learn them numbers again.

I don't mean they didn't profit.
I mean that 5 years * ~100 of their best people wasn't justified by 3m sales. If invested in 2 full 2.5 year projects of 70 people and a large number of smaller side games, total revenue would have been much higher.
For example, should Valve have made Half-Life 3? No. Because although it would profit, it's single player and one-time purchase so cannot provide the ongoing revenue that the same investment in TF2 and Dota 2 over the period did.
