Just like I thought, you can't blame Iwata for all of Nintendo's problems. Firing him would solve nothing and would only be a symbolic gesture. Nintendo's problems run much deeper than that.


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). 

Great designer, but I don't think he should be on the board of directors or making business decisions. 

That's just guessing.

I forever like Miyamoto because he decided to turn Metroid Prime into a FPA instead of a third person perspective (which it was originally going to be).

Maybe we'll know someday for sure, but I remember him being very anti-CD in those days. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a lot of input in that decision.
