Regardless of what Iwata says, It is Microsoft who can not compete according to Sean Malstrom.

Quote taken entirely out of context. What Iwata meant by not competing is obviously not that Nintendo couldn't be successful, but that they weren't going to be successful attacking the same market as Microsoft and Sony.

Nintendo was attacking the gaming market so what is there to say ? 

So... by that logic, Wreck It Ralph and Les Miserables were competing for the same market?  There are different parts of the gaming market, and Nintendo went for a part that Sony and Microsoft were weak in.

Look I'm not saying that nintendo can compete in the exact same market but it can compete in the gaming market in general.

Nintendo this generation has taken the red ocean route.

I'm not necessarily arguing about that (although I might later on), but if you read the original interview with Iwata, Malstrom's interpretation of the quote is clearly out of context, and Iwata is very clearly not saying that Nintendo can't be as successful as their competition.

@Bold Yet they said that they can not compete at the gaming market in general even when the wii disrupted the market. Until Iwata specifies what they meant about "competing" I'll take it as though that they were trying to aim to be a leader market instead.
