Whether its a cultural thing or not, this is the main problem at Nintendo:

Iwata - "Nintendo is not good at competing so we always have to challenge [the status quo] by making something new, rather than competing in an existing market.”

Too non-confrontational and runs away from its issues, rather than attack to fix its own weaknesses.

When things got too crowded in the western market with the M$ invasion, Nintendo aimed at casuals. Now that the casual market is flooded, expect Ninty to run away once again. Which direction do they turn to? Don't expect for Nintendo to "learn its lesson(s)" because remember, they run from problems. Right now is panic mode and its why most of us expect Nintendo to support itself, with the Fusion concept. Don't expect a powerhouse console, and don't expect "wii 3" those days are long gone.


Yeah that quote was rather damning but very insightful about how Nintendo actually views the market (versus their fanbase). 

Nintendo tucks tail and runs away any time they are confronted with a strong competitor in any market sector.
