My opinion - I think Nintendo America is sitting on their fat ass while Nintendo Japan do ALL the work. (Epic Mickey is only one eg. i can think of but i don't really know if Ninty did any moneyhatting or anything)
Good for Japan, and their markets preference for games, Fucking awful for Westerners.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
