| Never said: Miyamoto wanted the wii to support hd and was the reason the n3ds had the better 3d screen. Why would anyone be glad he wasnt involved in hardware? |
Because wanting the Wii to support HD solves nothing and jeopardizes the sucess of the Wii by increasing its price point by $150+. The right move was to do R&D into HD development and to increase their workforce accordingly in 06-08 when they knew the DS and Wii were going to be successes (ie. had the money).
I've said this before, but I'll say it again: between 2010 and 2012, Nintendo had 3 platforms to support simultaneously (Wii/DS/3DS until 2011, Wii/WiiU/3DS after 2011). The Wii was dead after 2011's Skyward Sword, and had a barren release schedule since 2010, they flubbed the 3DS's launch with too few games and too high of a price (it recovered with a price cut coinciding with MK7 and co). And they managed to drop the ball with the Wii U too. After promising to end droughts, there wasn't anything until Pikmin 3 in August 2013. The point is that's he's looking at the hardware when he should be looking at management.
