And I'm sticking with what I said. Every CEO could have in Nintendos position turned the 3DS around, Iwata did not make any incredible out of the box decisions that no other CEO could have come up with. He cut his salary, so? That was a purely symbolic act, it didn't do anything for the 3DS or are you going to tell my that Nintendo could only cut the 3DS price because they didn't have to pay that humongous part of Iwatas salary anymore that he cut?

Cutting the price of your console and getting games that will sell on it out is the most basic of the basic, that is all Iwata did and that's why I think he doesn't need to be commended for the 3DS turnaround. Now if he turns around the Wii U then I'll happily congratulate him for that, cause that problem is a whole lot bigger than the 3DS's ever was.

We would have to agree to disagree then. Business decisions sometimes aren't obvious (and even if they are, it doesn't mean they are always the best options), and they heavily differentiate from person to person.
