Yes, all you say is true but at least if he goes down he is going down fighting. He is trying new things, he has upped the phone sales etc., 

 Ultimately this might not be enough but one cannot deny he is trying. It is a tough job he came into and anyone would struggle in his position. Sony's situation is not Kaz's fault. He wasn't responsible for the disaster.

Iwata on the other hand is 100% to blame. No ideas what to do, repeating the same mistakes over and over again. He has lost touch with gaming reality that's why the wii u is a disaster. 

He was responsible for the Wii, DS (biggest successes Nintendo has ever had) and 3DS comeback. If it wasn't for those things Nintendo would be literally bleeding a lot of cash right now. I don't understand why people like to ignore these things.

Not saying he's doing a good job now, but without him, Nintendo would be in a much much more dire position.

We live in a "what have you done for me lately" world. Nintendo, like their fans (especially those who roam forums), tend to live in the past.  This is proof positive that past success does not guarantee future anything.  Nintendo's problem starting with the 3DS was trying to reproduct what the DS was and the Wii with the Wii U.  And even with his statement today you still are not seeing the contrition needed for real change, just another set of unrealistic forcasts they will have a hard time meeting.

Myspace was hip and cool back then too.
