Is Miyamoto losing his touch?

Possibly. One could argue that he could have left and gone solo or put his foot down, but that's easier said than done. The main point is that Miyamoto is only as good as Nintendo is. If Nintendo does poorly, it will affect his output as the problems will trickle down and this is precisely what we have seen this gen. 

But what can we, as gamers, do to put enough pressure on them to change for the better?

Honestly speaking, for Nintendo I'm not sure. If you ignore the Wii and look at N64, GameCube and WiiU sales, it seems it is a core fanbase keeping Nintendo going. That isn't necessarily a bad thing as if they deliver what the fans want they can still be successful. 

 

I think Nintendo needs to go back to its roots and cater to them instead of 3rd parties like EA etc. They need the 3D Marios, Zelda's, Lylat Wars, Pokemon Stadium, Harvest Moon, Banjo Kazooi, Goldeneye etc.

 

They've done it before, there is no reason why they can't do it again. However, that's what I want from Nintendo. What someone else wants might be entirely different.
