I can understand why Iwata would make such a statement. Compared to Sony and MS Nintendo is small fry. They don't have the machinery to push the company and it's products forward with brute strenght, and if the game department operates at a loss they don't have other departments to make up for it because gaming is all they have.
That's why it's so important for Nintendo to go their own way and create unique products, something that they have failed to do with the Wii U (so far). I think part of Nintendo wants to play with the big boys and battle it out to make third parties happy but that's a battle they'll never win, and the sooner they forget about it the better.
