I can tell alot of you didnt read my post at all.

For one i stated i wish they invest in more mid tier western devs, which i believe they are slowly.

Secondly, i am not stating that the games would sell. In fact this supports what iwata is blatantly saying. They dont sell because nintendo does not pay to push them forward. They dont pay them exclusive advertisizing or for bundles. Rarely will they do that unless they have a long history like capcom. And even then it is very limited.

As a gamer it sucks and everyone is to blame. But although i disagree, going down that path would do nothing for Nintendo in the long run. Its just true.

 

What can Nintendo do now? Who knows? But it surely does not involve investing in 3rd parties like sony and ms.

At this point, coming off the Wii U, it probably is better to just worry about developing another Nintendo-box.  They have the funds to get back into the game, if they really wanted that, but honestly, I have little faith that they could pull it off well.  They're so far behind on features and perceptions about their audience are set.

Still, there are areas where they should be trying a lot harder.  Why wasn't Nintendo of America talking to western developers?  That's kind of ridiculous.  They should be talking to everyone because that can only help, not hurt.  I don't care if the developer has never made a single game for Nintendo, going and speaking with them might pay off down the line.  They need to fix that yesterday.

Now, if they'd done some of this before the Wii U launched, coming off the success of the Wii, it might have been a different ball game.
