That's honestly more depressing of a thought though because it indicates that even Iwata can't fix the problem or there isn't a singular problem here.
The issue is systemic right down to the core.
I also hate to say it but I suspect Miyamoto is one of the ones who makes a lot of the dumber decisions (I'd bet he was one of the ones who was gung ho about shunning CDs and going cartridge-only for N64 because he didn't like loading times, a mistake that Nintendo honestly never really has recovered from). I suspect franchises like F-Zero and Star Fox being shelved for so long also have a lot to do with his personal views.
Great designer, but I don't think he should be on the board of directors or making business decisions.
