Who would replace him, though? A recent GAF thread discussed that the board of directors is almost entirely stacked with people favorable to Iwata (there is one person alone who may have differing opinions, possibly). Unless Yamauchi's shares go to Arakawa and Arakawa himself decides to seize control, a leadership shakeup would make no difference in terms of direction. It's like all the Americans yelling "impeach Obama" when what that would get them... is President Joe Biden. Aside from the fact that Nintendo's doing what they can with the Wii U. It is not a poor product, but it has been poorly executed so far, and some of those factors (third party flight) being ultimately out of Nintendo's hands, they're doing what they can: cut price and bundle winning software and wait for more good software to come. Not sure what the anti-Wii U crowd wants, here (cutting the Wii U short and replacing it quickly is the recipe to kill Nintendo's reputation altogether, as not standing by their hardware is really what killed Sega, the lack of confidence from the CD, 32X, and Saturn). We also forget when Sony was losing money hand over fist with the PS3 (and they were selling more units at the time), and managed to turn it around. Granted, because they had the third parties all running interference for them, but surely Nintendo could manage a somewhat similar turnaround. |
What do you think about Rol?..would he get Nintendo back on track?
