It certainly could hurt to ditch Iwata. As i've said many times before, Iwata is uniquely from the generation when people who made games had to make games worth buying, and know how to build interest in the business because they had to. Nowadays, there are generally two types in the industry: suits (businessmen who could just as well be in any industry, good with money and little else) or developers who have the idea that people have to buy what they make because what else are they going to play? |
If i am wrong please correct me, but didnt he(Iwata) take over about the time gamecube was launched? and yes the wii was successful and he gets credit for that being the CEO at that time, however, failures should be pinned on him as well, and the wiiu is just that. its a bad spot for nintendo, and he should be held responsible as such.
On a side note:I think nintendos 3rd party support has suffered alot and nothing has been done with it since he has been CEO. I think they just need better vision. Some have it and some dont. i do not think he does, i can look at the nintendo network and what games are for it to see that, and yes its better but years behind M$ and Sony figured that out and got to work, nintendo seems to be dragging thier feet, in my opinon of course.
even bill gates was wrong to dismiss the internet back in the 90s. it happens, but make changes to fix it dont just keep going in that same direction.
