Jaime pull up that Did You Know Gaming about Yamauchi being comprised of 7 oni souls.

did you know Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.
Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.

He's clearly out of touch with reality. PS1 was successful because of it's game library.

RPGs, of course.

Who knows if it's true for the specific context of Playstation 1/Nintendo 64, but we do know for sure what he thought on the subject in general. Nintendo's philosophy is built on having accessible pick-up-and play games, he was far from the only one in the company to have an aversion to RPGs or the kind of games people play for long hours at a time alone. Not that Nintendo consoles do not have niche games or games people play for extended sessions, I am simply referring to the general philosophy of the company.

This philosophy explains everything about Nintendo: the design of the Gamecube controller, the cartridge media for the Nintendo 64, everything about the Wii...
