Wii is doing bad because they've sold the most consoles in the region and PS3 beat them out by a couple thousand for a few weeks?
Sounds like Satoru Iwata is being a little dramatic to me..I think Wii is fine there, they just need games for it. Wii doesn't have a lot of top 10 games ever..they've had a few, but by far majority goes to DS, PSP, and PS2/PS3 at this point. Wii's usual games do OK - sports, mario kart, etc - they just need more good 3rd party games.
3rd party has been a problem for the Wii since it's inception, but Japan is a much easier market to get profit out of 3rd party..Yakuza 3 looks amazing, but they're really happy with only 500k sales. Making low budget games shouldn't be hard, and the Japanese market should be easy to pinpoint in terms of what types of games would sell, I'd think.
