your analysis is right.
what is happening for 3 generations now is some kind of "behind scene" movement to make them change their mind, ok i'm not a 9/11 believer, but connecting some dots i have a picture of some "cultural hate" against this kind of Nintendo.
"They" want so much Nintendo to follow Sony and MS way that they spread that on sites, on forums, social networks, youtube ect ect.
I think also some leaks are "timed" by third parties , I mean leaks are made to create some fuss among nintendians to make Nintendo change (pro controller could have been pushed this way).
It's like third parties are blowing on the fire to "force" nintendo the "right way".
So that i called "nintendo is doomed fanboys" stupid followers, they are kind of victims of some social virus that is artificially created by Umbrella 3rd parties ... XD
