Short answer: No.
Long answer: Hell no.

Nintendo had an idea of connect all the kind of gamers, but unfortunately, the other companies jumped so high that the power of the Wii was not enough. The Wii was a response to the PS2 and Xbox, not a response for the x360 or the ps3, because Nintendo don't has a crystal ball to know what the other companies will do and if they will put HD in the consoles or not. With the power of the other consoles, a lot of exclusive appeared, and it is not Nintendo's fault, because the developers CAN do a game for the Wii with low graphics, but since the begin, a lot of exclusive games appeared, and a lot of consumers bought the HD consoles.

Observation: Tatsunoko vs Capcom is more fun than SFIV (I have a 360). SFIV is just a known name.

This entire article is an entire BS.

Nintendo makes twice as many games as MS and Sony combined, and thus a far larger variety.

Nintendo has released their core franchises far faster than any generation previous. In 2 and a half years they have released Mario Kart, Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing, Punch-Out, Smash Bros, Excite Racing, Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Battlaion Wars, Wario Land, Mario Baseball, Mario Strikers, and remakes for Donkey Kong, Metroid, and Pikmin. They also published Fatal Frame and have made a Sin & Punishment sequel, one of the most niche core games they have.

On the DS they have Mario, Metroid, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Elite Beat Agents, Professor Layton (yes, they published), Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, ASH, Custom Robo, Band Bros., Jump Stars, Donkey Kong, Etrian Odyssey, Soma Bringer, Fire Emblem, Zelda, Hotel Dusk, Jet Impulse, Kirby, Magical Starsign, Mario & Luigi RPGs, Star Fox, Trace Memory, Yoshi's Island and numerous spinoffs of all the above franchises.

Hah, Nintendo has made more core games for Wii than you own on your PS3 in total. From Nintendo alone! Even if you take away the sports title. On DS they have made more core games than you have in your entire games collection!

If Nintendo doesn't care about the core gamer what's that make Sony and Microsoft?

There is no excuse for this argument anymore. It's silly, childish, and clearly false. Please stop with these stupid topics.

If core gamers aren't buying enough core games for core games to continue to be successful, how is that Nintendo's fault?

Blame yourselves for not buying enough of the games you want. Slackers.

Is it 2007 again? I didn't realize my mom just drove me back home in a DeLorean......

The whole argument is so exhausted at this point, but i must say that this one was somewhat more pathetic than the others, especially with that "Sorry Mario, all the good games are on the other consoles!"

Plus the fact that the author admitted he gave up on Wii rather quickly, so he's speaking from an uninformed position.

Where's F Zero, where's Pikmin, where's Waverace, where's Donkey Kong? 

Just kidding they've released alot this gen already.  Think some Nintendo fans  just never got over that E3 and nothing between Brawl and Mario Kart in April/May last year and Punch out in May this year.  And Nintendo haters are just jealous that Wii is raping their favourite consoles in sales and Mario Kart Wii is going to sell way way way more than any non-Nintendo game in history.
