I wouldn't shed a tear if Iwata went, he's proven his incompetence time and again; what scares me is that his replacement might be some fuckhead who whores out Nintendo's games on smartphones and destroys their value and hardware business.

so would you care if this guy actually significantly improves Ninty's sales

If he did proper job of managing the company, I'd be pleased. I don't want some prick who'll give in to the "put your content on smartphones" morons.

I agree with you with migrating to smartphones, 3DS is still selling pretty well and Nintendo get's $40/$50 for their games, you can't get that kind of prices on smartphones.

Releasing their games on other consoles however is probably going through some stockholders minds right about now. Nintendo needs a good install base to sell their games, and Wii-U is not going to suffice. They are missing out millions of software sales right now because the install base is to small.
