"We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers."
So they still haven't learned that graphics and processing power are often necessary to provide a realistic, immersive gaming experience? Sure, Nintendo can optimize for old, slow processors, but there are other games out there that people spending 300 dollars are going to expect to be able to play and to have them look good (for example, Modern Warfare 3, for all its system requirements (not high), looks like crap on the Wii today).
You can't build a system and expect people to buy it and say "wow" when it's releasing NEW with technology that performed well 8 YEARS AGO.
No wonder Nintendo's got investors worried.
I'd be worried too, if the leaders of my investments were completely out of touch with reality.
