Nice words on Iwata by God of War director David Jaffe

here are the quotes that i find more relevant

 

- “Calling for Iwata to step down [misses] sight of what makes Nintendo great. You’d never get the Wii-type successes if you don’t allow a guy like Iwata to fail hard as well.”

- “You MUST fail if you want to grow and have new successes.”

- “...he’s certainly earned the right to fail more than he has to this point. And that’s from a gamer AND stockholder perspective. If you [want] make money, back the folks who fail properly. Failure isn’t just an option, it’s desired if the goal is big success. And investors who don’t value failure are idiots.”

- “Many thought Wii 1 was a bad move at first as well. Point is, so what it’s a bad move? Investors need to be thinking BIG PICTURE and LONG GAME with a company like Nintendo…companies that I admire are the ones that don’t only play for the short term win“
