I like Iwata's demeanor but the execution really leaves a lot to be desired. Like a student who keeps telling you he knows what he's doing wrong and says all the right things, but then hands in another assignment with some answers incomplete and others rife with errors.
I tend to stay away from stocks where I'm not confident in the leadership of the company, and while I like Iwata personally, I just don't know if he or the other Nintendo higher ups really know what they're doing in the console race.
The handheld market even with smartphones is a lot easier for Nintendo to correct to be honest. There's no Microsoft (a third enemy) to deal with and Sony folded like a deck of cards once Monster Hunter was taken away.
iOS/Android probably in some ways (not all) help Nintendo a bit because they really kill Sony in getting that older teen/college age demographic they rely on as their bread and butter. So that leaves the handheld market aimed heavily at kids ... and in that race, Nintendo can beat up on Sony all day long.
