Poor comparison since Kaz is the CEO of Sony, the much wider group, and his actions have been helpful to that group rather than pernicious (unlike other decision makers). Nice try though.

When the Vita came out he was CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, so pretty much what Iwata is as CEO of Nintendo Co., ltd. right now.

That does not alter the fact that the net result of his decision making has been positive as opposed to the net result with the decision making taking place at Nintendo. It's not just signing off on a product, but how you handle it in the aftermath. You can point your finger at Sony for some things pertaining to the Vita, but for every finger you point there are 10 more waiting to show Nintendo's bad decision making.

I am aware of that, but the point is that Pachter is ignoring certain aspects of the industry to come to this conclusion (the handheld industry, to be precise), exactly what we just did with pointing our finger at Hirai. I don't think that either of them should be fired, it just makes clear how much of an ignorant Pachter is.
