Well, I would say Yamauchi was pretty consistent with performance. Iwata¨s problem was inconsistency. Yamauchi did not change the company's direction until the new direction was successful, whereas Iwata believed too much on the new direction. Of course, times have been a bit different during Yamauchi era than they are today.

That's the thing though, Yamauchi failed to adapt to changing circumstances, and as a result his performance suffered with the N64 and Gamecube.

Going from market leader by a mile in the 3rd gen to third place in the 6th gen isn't consistent.

Well, Nintendo's been making videogame systems for 46 years, longer than any other company and is the only dedicated videogame company of those who are still making consoles. Which actually proves that Nintendo have been able to adapt. While Gamecube was doing like shit, the real monster in 6th generation was Gameboy Advance. It was discontinued a bit early in favour of Nintendo DS, but if I'm not mistaken, GBA was the best selling system the time it was on sale until it was replaced.
