I don't know that Nintendo needs to get rid of Iwata and I'm not really sold on Reggie. However, I do think Nintendo needs their own Yoshida. They need someone who holds a good deal of power and influence and understands BOTH the Japanese and the western aspects of the business. Nintendo is solidly a Japanese company, they don't really need a western CEO, but they do need a significant western presence in management or they're going to continue to stumble around blindly.
