The real question is if he is doing this voluntary or if he was forced to step down. In which case Nintendo still would like to keep him around, but not with as much power as he currently has, doing it in a manner that makes it look like everything is fine to the public. As far as I know, Miyamoto was heavily involved in the creation of the 3DS (moreso than with any previous system) and it was off to the worst start for a Nintendo handheld ever.

That was because of the price and lack of games if it was for the design it wouldn’t have sold more that the original DSs first year in 8 months

You can't use the price as an excuse for bad sales only to go on to ignore it when Nintendo subsidizes hardware. Besides, the design of the 3DS is what drove up its production costs and makes Nintendo lose money now.

Also, Miyamoto is responsible for the games Nintendo makes, so he's to blame for that point as well. You know, with great power comes great responsibility.

You mean he made the decision to cut the price that much? And he decides when games get released as well as decide to give 3^rd party developers the opportunity to release games before the big Nintendo games come?

3DS was sold at the price of 250 because of the positive reaction it got from the press. Nintendo even said that themselves. I guess that was Miyamotos decision as well…

I wonder what Iwata does as a president
