I find it hard to believe that Nintendo/Iwata would get rid of him/himself after he gave Nintendo the Wii and DS. Someone other than Iwata needs to go... |
I think they need to review their marketing team. Also, Reggie's effect has been declining over the years. His presentations at E3 have been really bad the last 4-5 years. Although he may not be the only one to blame, they do need to get more dynamic and creative in the way they present their products.

I agree. Reggie has been somewhat awkward on stage recently. Especially when he talked to that one Ubisoft guy last year... *shutters*
But I don't know if that is entirely Reggie's fault. Reggie seems to be quite popular among people. Especially with Memes.

BUEEEEEEH I LIKE FRENCH FOOD
Honestly, I've never liked Reggie all that much. And I feel that a lot of the hype that surrounded him was due to the fact that his boldness and braggadocio dovetailed with the Wii's ascendance and dominance. But he always came off as awkward to me, and now it's tin-eared on top of all that in the wake of Nintendo's slower performance now.
Granted, I'm a PS3/PSP/Vita owner, so I doubt anyone cares what I think of him anyway. :p

Just because you're a PS3/PSP/Vita owner doesn't mean you can't appreciate Nintendo or Microsoft, or have anything insightful, constructive or reasonable to say about them. It also doesn't mean that you're a blind fanboy, or that you hate the competition... -_-
Something a lot of people need to learn on these forums.

I'm not holding my breath. It's the internet. *shrug*
Also, I found a link to an article with the actual implications: http://www.cubed3.com/news/18025/1/100-billion-yen-or-satoru-iwata-resigns.html
|
The article you linked is making a really poorly and loose interpretation of what Iwata said. No where did he imply he'd resign.
That being said, knowing how business people react to similar situations in Japan, it's not that much of a strech to think he'd end up resigning if those goals aren't met.
|
It's loose, I know. But it's still better than the absolute nothing in the OP's link.
I feel that it would have to be a REALLY big miss for him to lose his job, frankly. A vauge reference from an unofficial translation doesn't seem enough reason to worry about his position. I just wanted to post something with the actual context is all.
