Not really comparable, Jobs is heading Apple since the beginning, When Iwata has started Nintendo already had both its own qualities and problems. Iwata sure has done a great job in terms of sales, but none of the Nintendo brands are as strong as Apple ones, and in terms of public image Nintendo hasn't yet totally shaked off his Kiddy image and now it has also gained the "casual/gimmick" image in a significant portion of gaming polpulation. Apple on the other hand, has one of the best and stronger image to the general pubilc as a company. That's not to praise Apple or Jobs, I'm not a fan of em' for sure, but It's a matter of fact that company and brand image are also results of the managment labour.
