They need to be proud with their meta critique number, but Iwata at least need to think twice when he talked and presented to investor, Investor is not a gamer, they are people who cares only for sales. I guess people need to calm a bit when reading an article.


C'mon guys, what's going on here?

It's obvious that Nintendo wanted to show them that the games are good despite not selling too well. They weren't just "bragging". In a year with some disasters like AC: Unity, Driveclub, etc... they wanted to show that their studios are doing a good job and that their clients are happier with their products than the average (is that true??).

Nintendo is well known for their quality, their innovation, etc.. They were saying "hey, look, despite all we still are good developers and we can hope for better days because we haven't lost our touch".

Even when a company is losing money, if its product is good, an investor can just wait for better days because he knows that the company is on the right path. For the lack of a better indicator, Nintendo showed them Metacritic numbers to say that Nintendo games are still good (above average).
