Wasn't he the guy that made that comment "I don't like cutting the price of the console, I don't think its good for consumers"

Something along those lines anyway ... they shot the Gamecube price to peices by the time the generation had ended .... talking about hypocritical.

 

 I believe that was Iwata and not Miyamoto. Could be wrong though.

It was Iwata who said that, and he wasn't the president of the company 'til after the GC era.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

it doesn't, because Iwata wasn't the president at the time.

Nintendo was losing their edge, their spark, their magic, despite the fact that they put out some of their best works ever in that era, too. They lost their ability to capture the public imagination, to break into the mass market and create an enduring legacy, something they have recaptured now.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Bet he doesn't feel sad now.

Im sure the money fights he has with Mr Burns take away the sadness.

Anyways i always enjoy seeing miyamoto interviews, always has a unique way at looking at games, hopefully he can delight us with more masterpieces in years to come.

 Iwata became president of Nintendo in 2002.

I thought Iwata became president right before the DS.
