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.

Miyamoto is one of the head figures at Nintendo and he's a director/developer, he has massive influence and the modern Nintendo is very much subject to this and his direction of gaming and software development. He is the head honcho of Nintendo's software development but he's not the only developer they have; hence "they". And those problems I mentioned are software related; hence pertaining to MIyamoto's presence at Nintendo and a direct failing under his supervision. There are plenty of other issues that I didn't mention because they are not directly (or as directly, anyway) related to Miyamoto's influence.

PS: I don't like the Hollywood direction gaming has taken either, just to be clear, and I've been whining about it for years in here.
