It's sad because Iwata is so likable personally, but damnit there is something rotten in Nintendo's culture that they can't ever seem to stay on top of things. They always get lazy and out of touch with the market and end up paying dearly for it, the difference with Yamauchi was that he was able to keep the company profitable during down stretches, but this is now two lost years of losses under Iwata. Unacceptable.

The worst thing about it is it's not like the Wii U launch should've been something Nintendo was dumb founded by. They had been taught a humbling lesson from the 3DS already, but they then just go ahead and screw up the Wii U launch as well despite promises that they had learned their lesson.
