He may be right but he has to accept the critics didn't like it. He made an average game that looked like Nintendo ended up not having any confidence in.

TL:DR :
Nintendo didn't release enough copies.
Nintendo didn't promote it properly.
Nintendo didn't build a strong enough online infrastructure.
Nintendo didn't stop that one negative review that inspired other negative reviews.
Wow.... good job blameing Nintendo on low review scores and sales, Itagaki.
Totally nintendos fault right? not like you maybe made a bad game?

So in other words this game should have been published by MS cause Nintendo are hopeless. |
Yeah, I'm sure MS would have stuck their neck out big time for a game that was critically panned by critic and customer alike. This is Itagaki's fault. The only mistake Nintendo made was the same one made by investors in Daikatana: money+big name dev=/=instant great game.
Maybe it just sucked.

Maybe, but since you never played it that is a big maybe. Many reviews thaa actually included the online portion said it was a blast. Campaign brought the score down mostly. But that was just because it was not open world enough for many. |
I played it at Walmart. It sucked.

spurgeonryan said: Also region free online multiplayer would have boosted sales. |
Wait online was limited to by region in the game? None of Nintendo titles do that. Sure you can search for local or country people to play with but there is always a global option. Every Splatoon game I ever got into was filled with Japanese players.

Besides some minor frame rate problems it is a fine game. Watch Dogs sold millions with far more problems, skyrim too. Miss management by Nintendo is not a new concept. They do it to themselves. |
You really think inconsistent frame rates were the only problem with this game?
