The fact that I seemed to understand Nintendo's market better than the business reps and that their sales are 1/3rd lower than expected, I'm pretty sure I'm being proven right, er, right now. But whatever, beleive what you want to believe. I think giving Iwata more power is idiotic at best and won't help the floundering console.

But things going as you expected "right now" is like saying you correctly guessed a race's winner because they're ahead at the first corner of the first lap. It's clear you think things will continue this way, but the all-knowing jury of time is still out.

Because with the release of the PS4 this christmas and the mass exodus of 3rd party supporters for the console, sales are obviously going to pick up...

Because people buy Nintendo consoles for third party games...

Because the last Nintendo consoles that relied souly on Nintendo titles sold oh-so well...

This is why they need new blood, not more of the same. We've seen this done before and we know it'll land, if they are lucky, in the ~20 mill region. But considering how PS4 is out so soon, it may fall into Dreamcast territory.
