Honestly, i think Iwata has a point. But, im not sure Nintendo can keep up with Sony and Microsoft in their offers. I think that they should leave the home console market and focus on their handheld devices. A nintendo fully focused on a single platform would be richer to the gaming market besides making a kickass full of value portable device.

The resident analysts and CEOs of VGChartz would bankrupt Nintendo within 2 years if they had their way. The truth is that Nintendo's 'exclusive' 1st and 2nd party titles have a reinforced 'value' exactly because you cannot access these games on other systems. If Mario was to suddenly be available for every console, there would be a short-term surge in profits and software sale numbers, but then you would quickly see sales slump reaching the unsustainable levels Sega Sammy has been facing for the past years.

I'm not quite sure why you quoted me. By the way when i say handheld devices i mean their DS/3DS etc. platforms. If they had the ability to hook up to the TV and use the screen (maybe wirelessly so you can use it as a controller) it would be great.
