Whatever you might think of whether let's players should be allowed to make money from what they do, it seems like Nintendo is only harming the sales prospects of Wii U by slamming copyright claims on let's players. Let's players who are having fun with their Wii U games is just about the best possible marketing Nintendo can get for free.
They may have the right to shut these people down, but they have the choice to not exercise that right, and it would seem that not exercising that right is the financially sensible thing to do. Which tends to suggest Nintendo are doing it for ideological reasons. Makes me think of how Nintendo was very opposed to SSBM becoming a pro-competitive game.
