Thats basically relying on luck instead of developing a steady stream of games with appropriate budgeting.

Nintendo's kind of like an aging baseball player that swings at everything, forgetting about fundamentals or staying in shape ... just hoping they'll connect once and hit a home run.

Well, hopefully they hit a few home runs to give them time to get some fresh young blood in there next time.

They haven't hit a clean home run really since Wii Fit in 2008. They've been cruising on the success of risks they took with NEW IP in 2006-2008 for the last several years. Nintendo Land was a strike, Nintendogs + cats was a foul ball, right now Nintendo is reverting back to betting the farm on 15-30 year old franchises rathaer than trying something genuinely new.

They're reverting back to bad habits out of frustration/fear I think, I'm not seeing a lot of genuinely new ideas, just a lot of sequels to established franchises, but those types of games basically never are the type of "break out" game that Iwata is talking about. Those almost always are new franchises.

Well sure, it could happen, but it's pretty damn unlikely.

I tried to explain to my mom that I didn't need to work when one winning lottery ticket would set me up for life. She didn't go for it.

The most interesting thing he said, however, was, "we will need to think very carefully about the balance of revenue and expenses and try to operate by controlling overall costs." I think there are some red flags with that for the Wii U. It wouldn't surprise me if Wii U games going forward got hit with budget reductions as Nintendo shifts attention to other devices, present and future.
