Nintendo, the scapegoat of the industry

It's one of two things, or both:

A) Some people hate change + Nintendo promotes change = Some people hate Nintendo.

B) Teenagers opinions tend to work in a very polarized manner. Either they think something is great or it sucks. It's a 10 or a 0. They love it or they hate it. Nintendo's family friendly approach is not appealing to teenagers.

No. because Nintendo does their own thing, they lose access to all applicable demographics. They can create a new demographic using non-gamers like they did with the Wii, but that hurt the sales of their hardcore games. Its an either or thing with Nintendo. Either they can play ball and be Nintendo whilst working with third party or they can just be themselves, which they will continue to do and play hit or miss with fans for years to come.
