I wonder what Miyamoto can learn from his past mistakes. Also; given his recent statement on how they're going to focus on spin-off's and such, I find it funny that he of all people berates others for lack of variation and being boring. Miyamoto is allergic to taking risks and stepping outside of his (albeit impressive) safe zone.

This reminds me of the UNITY thread, where certain people saw the industry heading in only two possible directions, one being Nintendo's direction and the other being Hollywood. It is my personal belief that neither direction is terribly exciting or healthy for the industry as a whole on the long run.

What mistakes are you talking about?

The fact that they were caught completely off guard by extended development cycles and ended up with several droughts, making niche titles to encourage hardware sales, being way too late in getting Indies on board, focusing too little on online in games, relying on the same franchises that failed to do much for the Gamecube, to name a few.

Who is they? Are you talking about Nintendo as a whole now? This thread and ur previous post were about Miyamoto specifically.
