This all reeks of "We're Nintendo, we do things differently, we're supposed to have learned from our mistakes but we're still gonna do a damn good job at making the same ones"
Not suprisingly over 75% of people who voted found Iwatas comments discouraging.

Three words: treading thin ice.
Think Nintendo will loose even more in the next battle, with Microsoft gaining a much greater slice of the gaming public.
The issue is, most developers can't afford to take risks. Only those with substantial finances can.
Most developers would rather produce games for Playstation because they know they will sell loads of copies regardly, or they will develop for the X-Box as it's much easier to develop games for. Not too sure how prepared companies are for these radical changes Nintendo are promising. It'll more than likely be some sort of touch sensitive input, which will be good, but getting companies to put time and effort into thinking how they could make good use of it, and make lots of money will be hard.

I'm sick of Nintendo being stupid mongs.
Silly Nintendo, they know exactly how to atract customers.
I have to agree with Iwata.
The same thing is happening over and over with releases of new consoles. Isn't it time for something new? after all he is trying to get the game consoles to be as popular as they were in the days of the NES and SNES. They aren't as popular now as they were then! The market is in decline.
We need something new and fresh and its just the case of if people want a change for the good that will make or break Nintendo.

The thing is, we live in a graphics vs gameplay society.
Edge recently interviewed NoE's Marketing Director, and by the looks of things really landed himself in a puddle. Some "oh deary me" points:
------------------
NoE: If you’re playing a game of specsmanship, then they will win that battle, that’s true. But you’ll notice that we’re not. Have we talked about our processor speed or our number of polygons? No.
E:But you can’t talk about those things because you know you can’t compete in those terms.
noE: "Well, that’s a fundamental difference of opinion. We just don’t think they’re relevant. In the end, the consumer buys the gameplay experience, it doesn’t really matter what processor you have."
I'm sure the masses will disagree with that.
---------------------------------
NoE: "I always use the movie analogy – you choose to go to a theatre based on which movie is playing, not which one has cushy seats and cup holders... given the choice between two cinemas showing the same movie, then sure I’m going to choose the Imax, 70 mm, Dolby-equipped one."
Heh, looks like Sony don't really need a Marketing director of their own.
--------------------------------
NoE: "But then we’re not showing the same movies."
Great, a box office multi-million bestseller against obscure Manga vids. Goooo Ninty!!!
