But success and failure in consoles isn't measured in years, it's measured in hardware cycles. We'll know if Nintendo has learned its lessons when the next round of hardware ships, and not before.

Success and failure is measured in dollars. A good leader at Nintendo could return them to some profitability without new hardware.

What you're claiming would grant unconditional immunity to the leadership for the next four or more years.
