| DerNebel said: What kind of a kindergarten argument is that? Iwata isn't bad, because Hirai is even worse, great and where did I mention the Vita or Kaz in my post? All I said was that Iwata doesn't need to be commended for the 3DS's turnaround, cause anybody in his position at Nintendo would have been able to turn that thing around. And let me just ask you a question. What do you think, if Iwatas and Kaz' roles were reversed, do you think Iwata would be able to save the Vita or be able to put it in a better position than it is in right now, with the resources Sony has? Do you think Kaz would have been able to achieve the same 3DS result we have right now, with Nintendos resources? |
I think you missed the point. Never said that Iwata is better than Kaz because Kaz is worse, that was not the point. Is just a very simple example of what a good strategy and good business planing is vs. something that is not. Could have changed that with different products from different companies.
@bold, how can you be so sure about that. Another CEO would have cut his own salary? secure MH 4? you don't know and I don't know either, and just simple saying "common sense" isn't something you can say when talking about business, because even if something is "obvious" it doesn't mean you can do said thing at the moment or ever.
What I said above answers your question, depending on your resources, you might be able to something or not. What is more important for your business? What your shareholders want? etc. Would Iwata be able to turn the Vita around? maybe, maybe not, impossible to say.
My argument is very clear, Iwata made some very good decisions with the 3DS, and, yes, he was the reason the 3DS made a comeback. Another person could have done it? I don't know and neither do you.
