Well, in hindsight, they should have made a 360/PS3 like console, only with Nintendo games. But at the time, no one could have predicted that the casual bubble would completely pop and that by focusing so hard on it, Nintendo was making alot of it's former fans flee in horror and frustration.
I think Iwata looked at the DS and thought that this was the way to go. He was right short term, but long term, it was a dead end. Hopefully, they've learned their lesson and we see a modern version of the SNES next time around.
