Nintendo is such a stubborn Japanese company so stuck in the eighties it is unbelievable they are still relevant today. This company has had three straight years of major losses and is spending so much in new research for their bust Wii system that few really are into anymore and was a short fad. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata aka stubborn ass , refuses to make any new games with the Mario character to be playable on smartphones and other third party mobile platforms. This guys eyes are blinded to the fact that this company has struggled for years as people gravitate to cheap easy games on their phones as society has got much more mobile for the youth. This is a archaic man that does not understand rapid change and how best to adapt to future trends hat cold league his company. Mr Iwata doesn't just want to release games on smartphones that would help give his ailing company much needed exposure to new generations that could careless about the Mario mystic. He wants to maintain Nintendo has a maker of hardware and software in a impossible maintain given the new reality of how people get video games. The scale of business that Nintendo saw in the past will not be realized given the new players to the game and openness of competitors ability to easily reach the marketplace. Why anyone would still buy consoles that only pay a select few games for Nintendo or Sony decide needs to be released mystifies me and those days will soon be over. Nintendo only made a third of its original sales forecast for its new Wii amid a failure to provide enough decent games and no amount of price cuts will help sales of a system with a few crappy games when people can get free ones on their phone or talent. Investors to this once powerful company are getting edgy and may need to sack this stubborn son of a bitch into getting Nintendo to change its policy and allow its franchise characters such as Mario and Zelda to appear on Apple and Android gadgets. Some tags are just common sense and needs to be free from the inept dictatorial rule that is corporate America or in this case corporate Japan. No wonder this country fell so far behind China so quickly.
