Tough love. ;)

It cjust annoys me I guess; the company seems to be calcified with bureaucracy and fanatic commitment to tradition. It's the same problem that has made Sony take so long to axe its bleeding divisions. The old guard actively stand in the way of necessary change, and it only takes one of them to derail any attempt evolve the company. The market has changed dramatically in the last five years, yet Nintendo hasn't been able to keep pace because every step forwards has to be fought for against the leadership.

It's also what allows them to stay true to their pedigree.

Change is good for some things, not for everything. Tradition has value in many things in the world, as people who play traditional irish music.

I'm not saying they should ditch all their old ways, just the ones that are losing them money.
