It's always funny to read how everybody wants to be Nintendo's advisor.

This whole business related discussion is coming only from your Western perspective. You should not forget that Nintendo is a Japanese company and a Kioto based company on top of that (if you want to know what it means to be a Kioto company, you have to google). In Japan (and even more so in Kioto) the business sense is completely different than that in the West. In Japan the clocks tick differently and it affects everything in business and daily life.

And you can not compare Nintendo with Sony, another Japanese company. Sony was very much westernized in recent years and it gave them success. However, the same westernisation wouldn't work for Nintendo. Sure, they need to understand the American and European market better in future but not by westernize their company.
