1. I think the problem is not so much Miyamoto as it is the company relying too heavily on Miyamoto

Miyamoto is a great developer despite the fact that his recent games have not been as innovative as his earlier games, but he is just one person and only has time to work on a small number of games. Nintendo has not done well in attracting third parties so they have build their entire console around first party software and Miyamoto can not create enough games to support the console.

I really think Nintendo needs to go third party, their games would sell much better on Playstation and XBox than they would on a console that no one is buying.
