Wow, the OP is pretty silly. The internet is treated as an individual itself, rather than a collective of them. To be perfectly honest, the moment I heard the name Wii I knew Nintendo had a brilliantly mass-markettable product on their hands and that they'd end up neck-and-neck with the PS3 or beating it (though I never knew it'd be this badly). If I would have had the money to invest then, it would have gone straight to Nintendo.
Also, when I saw WiiFit my first thought was "Oh, this is the Wii's brain training." So while most people on the net may have not seen it coming, some of us knew Nintendo's fortunes were all gold.
Now, as for Nintendo ignoring their customers - well, that's just silly. They do no such thing. They just happen to know their customers better than we do. We represent only a small part of their customer base, and they have to provide for the needs of their less vocal customers as much as they do for us. More, really, since they are a bigger slice of the pie.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
