Is he really saying that the droughts/the third place performance is intentional? I highly doubt that this was their plan.

He's not saying that it's intentional that they're in third place. He's saying that they do something big and revolutionary, and then they take a much more "dormant" attitude for a while, while they're developing their next big and revolutionary product. The Wii U was Nintendo being in their "dormant" phase, happy to simply tread water for a while.

At least, that's how I'm reading it.
