His words are hot air.

Says these things but no evidence from Nintendo they doing such things. Still got a forced Gamepad bundle when the screen and its gimmicks are a casual attraction, all their big efforts have been casual games and aside from maybe Xenoblade everything Nintendo is making is casual. 

"Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing.

Lawl at this line, yes, you fucking well should entertain us if you want our money.

Fucking Amen to that.
