I think that last quote says it all. If Nintendo meant it or not, they have created a system that everyone and their mother/grandmother would think looks fun.
This has the effect of making mothers buy it for their kids, but also people who would never ever think of picking up a console.
A winning strategy in my opinion. The graphics comprimise is negligable when you consider the target audience is not clued up on the latest and greatest HD graphics.
