At a age of 54 Iwata is actually the youngest person on the board of directors at Nintendo, the average age of members being 67.

This is the biggest problem right here.  Everyone is old.  

Actually I made a mistake using the old board of directors.   Iwata retired some representative directors last year and added some younger blood too.  

He is no longer the youngest member and the average age is now ~58.7.  Kaz and Iwata are also aound the same age.

It's not like Kaz is a great example for a Japanese CEO. He'll be replaced shortly if he doesn't start doing better.

I was just contrasting the age of the 2 leaders and not much more.

I also added some info about the ages of directors to my original post, so I'll add that here too.

Satoru Iwata - 53
Genyo Takeda - 64
Shigeru Miyamoto - 60
Tatsumi Kimishima - 63
Kaoru Takemura - 67
Shigeyuki Takahashi - 59
Satoshi Yamato - 55
Susumu Tanaka - 60
Shinya Takahashi - 49
Hirokazu Shinshi - 47

 

I think these are last years numbers so add 1 year to their age.

 
Kaoru Takemura - 67, is also expected to retire this year and Naoki Mizutani is set to be appointed as a new director.
