how here's a crazy question:

What was your opinion when Iwata said that the console market was on the brink of dying? (I think he said this somewhere near the middle of the GCN generation)

I remember saying wtf, Nintendo, you guys are crasy, the game market is doing fine! I don't think anyone really believed him. Also, I remember reading a bunch of news articles saying that Nintendo was just being stupid.

Another question goes along the same lines:

What was your opinion when Nintendo said that games were getting too complicated and hard and instead they wanted to focus on "simplier" games? I remember saying basically the same thing: "wtf Nintendo, you guys are crasy." At that point I wanted more in-depth games with better graphics. Now I understand what Nintendo was getting at. But when they said that 3 years ago, I seriously thought that they completely lost touch with the Videogame market.
