And that's why I never supported the "Fire Iwata!" movement. Getting rid of one guy won't solve anything when you have that kind of corporate structure. It's harsh perhaps but someone at Nintendo needs to take one for the team and "get rid of" murder all of the senile old farts who are holding the company back.

They simply are never going to be able to overcome their issues because their corporate structure is such that they can't get out of ruts once they fall into one.
It would be far better if the issue really was centrally Iwata (though no doubt he is part of the issue, it's just that there are 10 other people at Nintendo also at fault). Then at least by getting rid of him you could see substantial change, but if the corporate culture is rotten to its core ... that isn't fixable.
In a way though then what's happening to Nintendo now is pretty much 100% predictable.

If they are so predictable then what do you see Nintendo doing in the next ten years? If you are only talking about the here and now then that isn't a prediction it falls more along the lines of understanding cause and effect.

I mean the result is predictable, a company that conservative in a business like this ... well it isn't really stunning that they are having big trouble adjusting to changing market conditions. Especially a very conservative Japanese company trying to compete in what is becoming a Western dominated console business, both in terms of the consumer base (consoles is almost entirely for the Western audience now) and developer base.

But to your point of Nintendo has to change with the times ..I agree they are behind the times in some things but Nintendo is doing something right, every generation their company turns a profit whereas Sony and Microsoft gaming divisions lose money every generation.....You keep saying the gaming world ismore western focused but you are forgetting the point that Nintendo first party sells very well in all regions of the world ...not just in the east or the west ...as long as Nintendo First Party sells in the millions and makes a profit Nintendo will never panic or care ...they only care about profit not marketshare ....whereas Sony and Microsoft focuses on market share because they are more 3rd party base as far as profits are concerned and that's where a majority of their profits come from selling a lot of consoles to make 3rd party profit ..just saying
