So seeing Iwata mostly make sense combined with his complete dissociation with E3 got me wondering.
Nintendo's messages have been mixed this whole gen and they've flip flopped a lot in terms of tone, content, and extent of advertizing and general promotion. To me, this seems to signify turmoil in the ranks at Nintendo. So I wonder if part of what we saw with the E3 Digital Event wasn't Iwata and his faction letting their opponents hang themselves? That is a legitimate means of dealing with dissenters who just won't quit and have support of people throughout the company: allow them to move forward with a plan doomed to blow up in their face. More just me musing, but I think this could definitely be a possibility, we'll just have to wait and see.
To be clear, I'm not saying all good ideas come from Iwata, I'm certain that's not the case. But it is strange to see a guy who has been gung-ho about Directs and was a vocal supporter (iirc) of Nintendo's last Digital Event and even made an appearance to so distance himself from this last one. It seriously does look like he knew full well it was going to blow up and wanted to be well clear of the blast zone.
