They shouldn't have too many problems.  The guy has been taking a more and more hands off approach as he's gone.  He's really nurtured the inhouse dev guys.  None of them will really probably make a giant name for themselves but they'll be competant successors.

It's the generation after that i'd be worried about.  Of course we'll all be like 60-70 by then.

 
60-70...hmm, some people. The guy's 57 right now. Average life span is like...75 or something for males? Of course, if he lived to be 100+ that'd be awesome :P Assuming he's gone (will be a sad day for the industry...) by average age a lot of people like me will be like 35-40ish. And I will still game! Some people will be around 60-70 though...

"Average life span".

Miyamoto doesn't quite fit in there cause he's rich as hell and will have access to top line treatment.

People born today are expected to have an average life expectancy of 100 in the first world.

Keep in mind too that these numbers include numbers of people who die at REALLY young ages... etc.

Besides, like i said.  It's not just him, it's his successors they'll be fine.  The next generation after that may be the troubled ones.
