At this point if you are Iwata there really is not that much you can do. Nintendo consoles sell because people want Nintendo games and by Nintendo games I mean Mario,Zelda,Donkey Kong,Mario Kart,Smash Bros, Mario Party, and Wii Sports. I love Pikmin,Kirby,Metroid,Starfox,F-Zero,Earthbound, and Fire Emblem, but they all always sell between 1 and 2 million, and should be used to make some software $$$, once the install base is there. Instead Nintendo choose to build the console on NSMBU (good choice), Nintendo Land (ok choice), Pikmin(horrible choice), Wonderful 101 (HORRIBLE Choice), Wind Waker Remake (meh), and SM3DW (Great choice). The bottom line is that Iwata did not have his finger on the pulse of software development, and that is not a problem that can be fixed overnight my any means.
