I think its time for Iwata and Miyamoto to step down and quietly retire (and take Sakmoto and a few others with them), they are no longer helping Nintendo, instead their direction is a danger to Nintendo's future and its shareholders, they clearly don't understand the consumer or the market.

Considering that Miyamoto is behind pretty much all of Nintendo's multi million successes on the Wii and DS, please tell me you're not serious....   Without Wii Sports, I fear for what would have happened to the Wii.

He's also the guy who keeps trying to make 3D Mario instead of 2D Mario and probably the guy who wanted 3DS to be so focused on 3D that its a power hog

 

So yes I am serious, its time for them to leave and let others who understand the consumer better take over

Except you have no idea what Miyamoto 'wants' to make.

The DS didn't sell simply because of 2D Mario, no, it sold because of Brain Training and Nintendogs AND 2D Mario - plus a lot of other games and genres. The 3DS is trying to be something different and needs to be experienced by people for them to understand the AR and other excellent qualities. It also needs games. Would another 2D Mario help the 3DS? Somewhat, but I'm sceptical whether it would make the impact that you and Malstrom believe it would.

Actually, Malstrom also agrees that alone would not be enough. Those games you mentioned showed the general direction of the DS that people though was worth it, and he also insists people DO understand the features of the 3DS, they just don't think that's good enough.
