Nintendo understands that the definition of 'gamer' has changed, but they understand their position to provide content for all customers, and realize that they've been lacking in quantity of software

GN 1.0 / 2.0

The definition of what can be called a videogame has become much broader. On the other hand, our principal in the videogame industry — to develop “new” videogames in a broader sense which can surprise and make enjoy many customers as possible — has not been changed as the main issue in “continuous expansion of gaming population”.

· From that viewpoint, we at Nintendo have to reflect on domestic Wii software deployment in the former half of this year. Like what had been to be released in the former half of this year was postponed to the latter, we were not able to reach the original goal – to regularly make new proposals.

· As for our deployment during the latter half of this year, I would like to announce on the other day as it is not today’s main topic. I
would like to address that Nintendo recognize that we have been short of new proposals during the former half of this year, so far.” - Satoru Iwata

This is part of a massive transcript we posted earlier today, but this part is well worth mentioning outside of that piece. Once again, you can find the full transcript here (thanks Kirolos!)
