Is Nintendo putting too much faith in the third party?

Iwata:

“We want the other companies to be successful,” he emphasized to another investor. “In order to accomplish this goal, we would like to decide on the dates [of Nintendo software] after we know the release plans of other companies’ games so that we are able to consider how we can maximize the sales of our titles without affecting the sales of other companies in the short term.”

I feel better. It's ambiguous and open-ended enough that I can pretend he meant Nintendo would release its games far enough in advance to blaze a trail, and then let third-parties fill in gaps while they recharge. Yes, that must be what he meant. It's not perfect, but I'll take it.

LOL.

The way I read that it's like you are trying hard to convince yourself.
