Iwata brought us the Wii U. Excuse me for not wanting to take his business advice as the final word.

Iwata runs Nintendo, and you would run them into the ground, given a chance. Excuse me for not taking your business advice seriously.

If everyone else can do it without going down, why would Nintendo?

Because Nintendo is the last of the Old Ones. Their business strategy is all about selling software to sell hardware, rather than selling hardware to sell software. Nintendo's goal is more contained. None of the others give a damn about what device you buy, so long as you enter their environment somewhere.
