The point of my comment about listening to the internet was that if Miyamoto had listened to the internet, Nintendo wouldn't be in the position it is today. One of the things that Miyamoto said at one point was that (to paraphrase) his job was to give people something that they never even knew they wanted.
The internet isn't necessarily the voice of the people. It's the voice of the most hardcore and passionate, which doesn't necessarily equate to sales. Just because IGN is campaigning for somebody to publish Winter doesn't mean that it would sell any appreciable amount. I mean, there has to be a reason why these companies aren't biting, right? Maybe they don't feel the concept is original enough.
