He is responsible for the first series of losses ever recorded by Nintendo in decades, if not in its history.

"I don't understand why people like to ignore these things".

We can go back and forth with this. Even in an era where smartphones dominate the market he has managed to make the handheld sell some very very respectable numbers, Kaz hasn't been able to do this with the Vita.

Again, I'm not saying he's doing a good job (he is doing a bad job actually), but without his past successes Nintendo could even be in bankruptcy right now.

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.

Because Sony fans don't live in the past...PS2 success *cough* 

Without counting the stupid forecasts, he has done an incredible job with the 3DS, securing the MH franchise, steady flow of games, making the fanbase happy, etc. Iwata knows how the handheld market works, Kaz however doesn't seem to have a clue. Just turn things viceversa for consoles. even if 2013 was the 3DS peak, it warranty a good future for the system, with dozens of amazing games. If that's isn't a good job right now I don't know what is.
