Generally speaking, no competent genealogical DNA analysis will suggest that you're the perpetrator, even if the crime scene DNA was from someone as close as a parent or child. Even in that case, only half of the genealogically significant DNA would be a match. They would immediately want to know who your parents and kids are, since the analysis would clearly point to one of them, but the difference to your DNA would be obvious. The main exception would be a case of identical twins, who do match 100% theoretically.

This is consistent with the principles discussed in Christensen's The Innovator's Dilemma. Low-end products with a new value proposition eventually become good enough to overtake the high-end products.
I agree. Train the development teams on Western aesthetics. We don't need all brown and gray, but they need to realize that pink and rainbow schemes don't do well here unless you're under 6.
A few suggestions:
-Phase out the touchpad controller--it scares people off. The Wii remote was much more approachable (though somewhat uncomfortable to use classic-style).
-Rebrand the Wii U, since the name confuses people.
-Create an iTunes-style account system for the Virtual Console. Who wants to re-buy retro games every 5-6 years??
-Firmware update: launch straight to the title screen of whatever game is loaded. All the OS fluff can be accessed as needed, but power-on straight to the game.
-Figure out a way to re-create the Nintendo Power experience, admittedly a challenge in the Internet age. That magazine was brilliant marketing strategy and exposed millions of kids to hundreds of different games. Websites don't quite provide the same experience, especially for kids 8-12. I think it is an underrated part of Nintendo's 80s-90s success.
-Reassign Aonuma (who has ruined the Zelda series) and Sakamoto (who has ruined the Metroid series).
-Assign Retro Studios to re-boot Metroid.
-Develop Super Mario Bros. 3 II. Don't include any music with a chorus singing "bah bah."
-Company policy: don't treat your customers like idiots ("Hey!" "Listen!" "Hey!" "Listen!" "This is a rupee! You can use it to buy stuff!" x100)
-Company policy: Intros and tutorials should be no longer than 2 minutes, and should be fully skippable. Most people don't care much about stories, and you could put it in the manual or on the title menu. Most people want to start doing something right away.
Word-of-mouth is a powerful thing. For the Wii, it still has a long ways to go. For various reasons, I still don't have one yet, but when we get one at my house you can bet that my circle of friends and those of my siblings will be exposed and interest can spread further from them. I'm sure there are plenty of other gamers in similar situations, who have yet to play the Wii with their non-hardcore friends simply because they can't get their hands on a system.
