Nintendo starts moving to a Wii-like “non-gamer” strategy for the Switch

This is fine so long as they don't abandon "core gamers" or w/e. The Wii essentially did that from the start, and the Switch seems to clearly be a product of that learned lesson. With the games they've announced and continued 3rd party ports to the system, there's not much to be worried about yet.

No it didn't. The whole "abandonment" issue is largely a myth. Sure, Nintendo's methods were misguided at times, but they still made their core games, more core games than the "Blue Ocean" type software. 

Yeah, Wii had Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Super Paper Mario, AND Fire Emblem during its first year alongside Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and also party games like Warioware and Mario Party 8, and some more unique creative titles like Endless Ocean/Eternal Blue and Excite Truck, as well as the original incarnation of the EShop and Virtual console. All in year 1. Yet people still try to perpetuate the “Wii had no games for gamers” myth.
