No, actually it says "our approach towards children wasn't sufficient"

Looks like they want to focus on kids and casuals even more...

They need to focus on the casual market and kids by re-branding the system. I suggest wii 2.

He's right. The "へ” there makes all the difference. "子供たちへのアプローチ”　as opposed to "子供たちのアプローチ” the former is roughly "approach towards children" the latter is "children's approach"

I'm going to modify the older thread with this...

This is correct.

The problem with many "translators" these days especially in the games reporting field is that they're not real translators and they translate "by feel" instead of getting a 100% grasp of what's really being said.

The semantics lean more towards "the children's approach was insufficient" not that "we are insufficiently reaching out to children."

No they don't. ryuzaki's translation is correct.

Wouldn't be surprised if some sites knew it was a mistranslation and printed it anyway because Nintendoom is in fashion.
Gaming journalism is pathetic.
