The shareholders should have demanded change or clean house. Its simple for Nintendo: Always cover your bases. That means, never sacrifice power and/or 3rd party relations. Why? b/c if Ninty's "innovation" fails, they need the back up plan to make sure the system is always worthwhile. Aim for a smash hit, but make sure your product never totally flops. If Ninty doesn't cover these bases, then they are essentially pushing customers to the competition. Nintendo should never care if their iteration of 3rd party games are the lowest selling, they should care about covering as much of the gaming world as possible, to have as much software available as possible. NEVER give away excuses for third parties such as "not enough install base, not enough tech power", ALWAYS aim to be the best overall, then let the chips fall where they may.

I don't think Ninty will learn this lesson, and they will continue going away from the "core" market and reaching badly into the blue ocean of death aka Bermuda triangle.
