I'd like to see Purple find someone in the industry that has a better resume than Iwata. +150million DS, +100 Wii's, +36 million, no debt, billions in savings and assets, responsible of the two best consoles of the past 8 years, responsible for the current best selling console.

"but but the wii u is doing poorly" - the confirmation bias of some users here is hilarious.

The Wii and DS were obvious highlights. But Iwata has failed to cash in with those successful years and invest the money wisely to keep Nintendo relevant in the home console market. Savings are great in theory, but just ask Blackberry how useful having billions in savings and assets is when your userbase collapses.

 

I also don't think two successes in 2006 can justify awful performance in 2013. He may have been the best man for the job back then, good on him, but he certainly isn't the best man for the job today.

By who's standards? And once again you completely ignore the 3DS's performance.

He is capable of rejuvnating a console (ala 3DS) and his track record is superb. He certainly deserves (and should be given) the benefit of the doubt.  Once again the confirmation bias is hilarious.
