I do agree for the most part but Nintendo, like every company is dictated by its sales, if WE dont like a game and dont buy it, it doesnt get a sequel, no matter how much Nintendo or Miyamoto love the game themselves. The only reason they dont release Earthbound in the west is becasue they dont believe it will be profitable.
While I applaud them for the Wii and its game changing concept, you have to consider that it was Sonys success that forced them to reconsider their strategy so drasticaly, although the DS was a start to that idea, if the N64 and GC had been the market leaders I doubt they would have made such a drastic departure from the path MS and Sony tread.
