Iwata - Nintendo preparing for serveral titles at the year's end, Miyamoto is not a God

The reason why I said today that April, May and June sales of Wii will not reach last year’s results but that the situation will change from summer this year was because the company has been preparing for several titles to be launched toward the end of this year that can drive the market. - Satoru Iwata

It’s not clear whether Iwata is talking about first party, third party or both. Either way, looks like Nintendo knows of some good games that are heading the Wii’s way.

Iwata also takes time to compliment Miyamoto’s work, but also acknowledges that not even he can get every single game right 100% of the time.

One of the reasons why Miyamoto is highly praised is because of his ability to stop, rethink about, and fix how he can convey the appeal of a software when he finds out during the latter phase of development that the software will not be good enough. This is why the games he has worked on have a high batting average to produce big hits. However, he is not God and even Miyamoto himself cannot hit the mark every time nor always predict how long it takes to complete development.
