I clearly don't understand what they are doing. They promise no droughts and we're between one. Zero marketing. Zero sense.

Iwata will be fired in june.

If so, it will be a token gesture that will change nothing (which is why it shouldn't happen).

I don't know. Something is happening. The Iwata from Wii/DS era is not the same as WiiU/3DS. Investors are starting to lose patience.

True, but given the makeup of Nintendo's Board, it would be little more than a message-sending action which will simply disrupt the hierarchy without bringing in anyone who thinks substantively different. Firing Iwata could cause Iwata's replacement to change his mind about Iwata's strategies, but you're still getting a guy who would think Nintendo was on the right course.

The key with Iwata is that he's been through this exact cycle already: while much of the GameCube was set in stone before Iwata came in, he still ran the company for the vast majority of its life, so much of the gamecube missteps, aside from hardware design itself, fall at his feet. If anything, he's the only known quantity who can dig Nintendo out of this conundrum.
