So... what exactly IS the problem with Iwata and Nintendo? This is a really vague topic and it looks you just want something to complain about...

 1: Iwata really tries to get content at and after launch. They paid for Rayman (which failed recently) Lego and Monster Hunter (published to be released in Europe) exclusivity. Pikmin and Deus Ex are coming soon. Wii U has had the second most successful console-launches after Wii. Wii U is only selling bad NOW because Rayman was delayed at the last moment and not many more games are coming, although the console sells significantly more with the release of Monster Hunter and Lego. Also keep in mind Nintendo will ALWAYS have difficulty getting third party multiplatform support. Even with third party support they won't make money at all (Gamecube).

Rayman wouldn't have made the sales much better alone. The problem with WiiU is not the Rayman delay alone. It should've had more first party titles to begin with. Yes, Nintendo wanted to give 3rd-parties room to breathe. But it doesn't work. Better make cooperation like W101, Lego City, SMT vs. FE, SSB developed by Namco and so on. More of that.
