Games Gotten Too Easy?

Two year old article I stumbled upon.   So this is the basis for Nintendo's games getting easier.

I can't help but lol in some regards.  The fact that they based this assessment on people who didn't read the whole manual that came with it, or never ran once.  Isn't the first thing anyone should do with a game, if they don't know the controls, is try the buttons and combinations of buttons and see what happens?

I can understand not knowing buttomless pits the first time around.  If you've never played Mario, but played something else where you can explore a world by going vertically as well, it would be a beginner's trap.  However, once you do learn you can't go down from dying the first time, you simply avoid doing it forever, lol.


EDIT:  Apparently site is satirical, so from this point the thread is just talking about the shift in difficulty of games in general.
