NintendoPie, he may have introduced the Wii and DS, but that doesn´t necessarily mean he is still the best person for the job...things are constantly changing, and a person who achieved great things years ago may not do the same now.

Iwata presided over Nintendo´s most successful handheld and home consoles, but now he´s also presided over two failed launches (or post launch, if you will) in a row, presided over Nintendo´s first annual loss in several decades, and the Wii U is now trailing behind the Gamecube and behind the $599 PS3 that 'had no games'.

Now, I don´t know if replacing him would really help or who would replace him, but Iwata, who led Nintendo to the top spot in the 7th gen, may not be the best guy to be in charge in this 8th generation.
