Iwata isn't Nintendo's problem. It's Miyamoto

why is it on Ninty to create new blue ocean games. Do people realize how HARD that is and how even harder it is to be successful? Not to mention the fickleness of the audience. Sony and MS seem to be doing fine by not making new blue ocean games. IF Ninty had to do anything is make new RED ocean ones IMHO

Sticker Star's problems can be largely blamed on the dev team. From what I gather, Miyamoto did not want Intelligent Systems to play it safe, and Intelligent Systems interpreted that as "don't make a RPG".
