I remember a interissing quote from myamoto saying that if that there is no point in hiring people if they will not be able to produce nintendo like games. Do you see the that ubisoft expand agressivily in these last years and AC games became so generic, and lost all indentity of the series?
Besides, this would also involve firing a lot of people at every bump that nintendo faces, like how zynga do, and king too.
Quality takes time, and very few companies prioritize this so much as nintendo (at least on the games front).
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
