Hopes that growth might be driven by Wii Music — the brainchild of Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo’s leading game designer — were dashed. The musical instrument simulator was too simplistic, drew the scorn of critics and badly damaged Mr Miyamoto’s reputation for infallibility. |
This's the only part of the article that I think it's inacurate. Miyamoto has done bad games in the past (Donkey Kong 3, Devil World, Yoshi's Safari, Doshin the Giant), he isn't infallible. But the great thing about him is that he simple leaves the bad experiences in the past, not like modern developers that keep crying for months because their games are bad (Cough, cough... Dyack)
