Iwata actually addressed this once. He's opposed to simply acquiring new studios out of the fear that the influx of new blood could dramatically change Nintendo's corporate culture ("Nintendo DNA" he called it). For what it's worth, I've seen firsthand what he means via other companies that go on acquisition binges. But it would be nice if they were more aggressive with the whole organic growth thing.
