His comments speak for themselves, not sure why you feel the need to interject your own agenda. 

Because the article authors already injected theirs. Have gaming journalists ever proven themselves more reliable than forum members? Really?

I have a very low opinion of gaming journalism, but this is a bit too much.

At least in terms of spin, not really. Obviously games journalists are better informed (most of the time).

I agree with Aielyn's assessment in that i think he was talking about Nintendo still seeing games as toys (in the sense of how the user is meant to interact with them) versus how many consumers see games as entertainment. The passive-active divide is not the casual-core divide, but rather one about how we are given these games and should expect to amuse ourselves with them, as one might a set of tinkertoys, rather than to be amused BY them, as one would expect of a novel or TV show.
