Nintendo Japan does not discuss internal business practises and certainly not with a Western media outlet. You're never going to get that interview.
Discussions from the Japanese side with the press are strictly promotional business (as in: this is our spring lineup, please enjoy).
Nintendo honestly might be one of the notoriously most secretive and strict corporate entities on the planet. I actually don't think that's much of a reach.
There's no reason to think Adelman is lying though, in fact out of all the garbage people read about Nintendo, this is one of the few things that actually has any real substance to it. To operate in his position he would have had to have had interface with the Japanese HQ, in fact given Nintendo's nature there's no way he would be allowed to run things like Wiiware autonomously as a foreigner.

im not saying he is lying he just doesnt know the whole picture.

It's as complete a picture as we're likely to get, unless some day a journalist goes after Reggie for some post-retirement (or however his career at Nintendo ends) interview and gets him to speak candidly somehow.
Take Yamauchi himself. Do you think the man ever gave out a substantive interview before he passed on? You're not going to get it from the Japanese side, as Soundwave said.

Yamauchi was a hell of a character. It's a shame we may never really get a proper insight into how he worked. I'd love to have a book on him that was properly sourced and researched.
