Personally I agree with a lot of the points in the OP, but for me, Nintendo's extremely hostile pricing has killed any chance of me getting Nintendo anything. I adore a lot of the stuff Nintendo does, but the pricing just trumps it all for me. And it's not that everything costs a lot initially, it's that everything seems to cost a lot even if you wait for a really long time. I don't mind waiting, but I won't if there's no point to it.
Just my two cents that are almost related to the topic.
