NOA did have Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Rhythm Heaven, Wii Play Motion, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Pandora's Tower, Mario Sports Mix, Fortune Street w/Super Mario, Kirby: Return to Dreamland and Zelda: Skyward Sword all finished for 2011 ... that's a perfectly OK lineup for a 5 year old console. NOA didn't want to publish games like Xenoblade or Last Story because they were overly enamoured with casual ware, that's their own fault, but they had actually plenty of games.
They also sat on a perfectly good Fatal Frame game for no reason whatsoever. They did have enough content.
Nintendo got arrogant thinking casual games and the occasional Mario was all they needed and they got knocked on their ass for that attitude soon there after.
This business is a bit like boxing ... if you believe too much of your own hype and get too arrogant and start to slack off from training as hard, someone, one day is gonna come, someone who's hungry, and knock you out.
