I disagree that fans are quite that much to blame--Nintendo making an endless series of bad moves from the very start of the generation put pretty much all of the blame on Nintendo.
However I will concede that there's a pretty alarming Nintendo Apologist attitude among a lot of fans, and acting like everything is fine and Nintendo is perfect certainly doesn't help things. In theory Nintendo could be looking at these fans and incorrectly thinking that what they're doing is fine, when those people are the minority.
