I quote.

"The games market shrunk dramatically last year, Mr Iwata said, because players were getting frustrated with the ever more sophisticated games.

Some games can take months to finish and the result is players are buying fewer of them.

"This trend is clear to everyone, and the trend continues this year," Mr Iwata said.

So in a bid to recapture sales, Nintendo has said it will move back toproducts that anyone can play and enjoy."

Looks like Nintendo want to make shorter and retard friendly titles.

Less complicated meaning:

No online.

No GBA connectivity.

Meaning, cheaper, raw gaming. All this online and GBA connectivity crap is getting on my nerves and I hope see it that way too.

More accessible games means more games aimed at 12 year olds, and that means no games for me.
Nintendo should do some mmarket research and find out what age group owns most of their consoles.

More idiotic to keep producing a console that's not being sold, methinks.

Clear out the backlog then manufacture more as and when needed.
