Complains about games taking the story telling route instead of focusing on game play. Picks on the company that does so.

I haven't watched the video. So i am saying this based on the thread title and other responses.

Edit: Watched the segment. What i said above. 

Are you sure? Because he didn't pick on anything. He was asked a question about Nintendo. And his criticism had nothing to do with Nintendo focusing on gameplay. He said getting some new blood to revitalize their first party games would be a good way to improve Wii U's situation.

Maybe it was not that bad but the point is that he wants them to make new stuff but he then cites two games that he is looking forward to. Both are iterative instead of "new" stuff. I guess the marketing point was somewhat right. All companies can strive to do a good job there. One just needs to look at Audi and Apple. They sell their products on the strengths of marketing more than anything else.  

I am sure how good Disney has been in sustaining some of their older franchises and mascots. They were down in the drain and putting B tier stuff before they acquired Pixar. Sure Pirates of Carribean rakes in a billion dollar each time but how many more of those can they make. 

I guess there is something to learn from everyone. 

A 2.5D Multiplayer console Mario game is hardly iterative, but okay. Anyway, the point I was making was that the criticism in your original post made no sense. I didn't say anything about marketing or the Disney thing so I'm not really sure why you're bringing that up.
