Thats one way to interpret it ....
I think Nintendo feels that not its fans but everyone else is a moron and thats why they streamline games (so people dont get lost in a compicated Mario hub world etc. rofl)
Alot of games from the competition are made for simple people and Nintendo wants them to be Nintendo customers (I'd rather want them to quit gaming forever no matter the platform but I seem to be part of the minority.....)
Mario Galaxy 2 Prime 3 and SkywardSword are all streamlined games (when it comes to world design etc.) they changed for the worse but are still better than 90% of the other games out there.
But it seems that Nintendo is fixing that (at least ZeldaU has no "chose a level" world anymore its again a connected world!)
