The thing about leaks with hardware is that there are a whole range of people who get their hands on it - managers, hardware developers and software developers. The number of people who could accurately leak that Iwata is near firing are much much smaller and as such the leak should be given much less credence.

Don't respond to just the headline. The rumor is people on the board are considering having him removed from his position, not that he's actually near firing.

Same thing still. Far fewer people would know if the board was considering removing him from his position than if there were hardware problems.
