Agree! I see nothing wrong at all with him in fact I’ve never seen anyone act like he does because of bad sales of a product. I mean who would lower his income because he made a mistake? If you ask me the only mistake Nintendo made was not releasing their big guns at the start of the 3DS launch and instead gave 3rd parties room to release their games so they could get more sales before the Nintendo games came out. I think Nintendo should just buy a couple of developers and go on it alone and who ever wants to fallow them then they are welcome! A lot of people hate Nintendo yet they want their games on other platforms if they step out of the hardware business. |
The fact that Iwata is even making steps to improve 3rd party relationships also shows how much of a humble person he is, too. Granted, he still has work cut out for him in terms of proving that their products CAN sell on their systems, but I believe that once 3DS sales pick up, 3rd party publishers will come running back. That said, there ARE some promising 3rd party titles on the 3DS coming up that I DO think will help the library—Kingdom Hearts 3D, Metal Gear Solid 3D (even though it's a port), RE: Revelations, Beyond the Labyrinth... those title sound like promising hits for 3rd parties if you ask me.
As for WiiU, well, it's still quite a long way off, so we don't know how it'll be yet, but my guess is that if anyone can help make it accessible and profitable, it's Iwata. He's not perfect, but he's in no way a bad president. At least he's not as tight-fisted or bullying as Hiroshi Yamauchi.
