Pachter: "I don't know why Iwata is still employed"

Nintendo needs to be reshuffled at the top. Plain and simple. They're a great company with great products (by that I mean IPs), but the decisions they've been making have been ridiculous (to say the least). I can't say I disagree with Pachter here. Sony gave Ken Kutaragi and other slackers the boot - Ninty should do the same,

Yeah, Sony should totally fire Kaz Hirai! He's the one responseble for the Vita, and that's arguably an even bigger flop than Wii U! Off with his head!

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.

I see domflo already replied to this. But yeah, Kaz has done some really great things for Sony. But so did Iwata with the DS and the Wii - he lead Nintendo in their most profitable era, ever. And he turned the 3DS around. But that's kind of the point I was trying to make; Iwata failed with the Wii U (after having a VERY successful period with DS/Wii), and should get fired, while Hirai failed with the Vita and gets promoted- and Pachter has no problems at all with that. What gives?

And just to clarify; I actually DON'T think Hirai should get fired.
