This been debunked as NeoGaf BS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joVPJ2CDtyk

No it's not. It was posted on a Japanese message board. Someone at NeoGaf just tried to translate it from English to Japanese, that's what some sites linked to the NeoGaf post, because it makes more sense to link to an English language post than a Japanese one that no one but Japanese speakers understand. 

The source is a Japanese Business website forum. Is it credible? Who knows. But it's not NeoGaf. 

I don't think any "coup" at Nintendo is anywhere close to imminent, but at the same time this is the first time Nintendo has ever tasted successive losses and this is the first time their grip on the handheld market has seriously been challenged by underwhelming sales on their part. They've never had a console perform this badly. 

It wouldn't exactly *shock* me if perhaps some within Nintendo's higher ranks aren't neccessarily all gung-ho about Iwata. 

I'm not really sure he has an adequete answer to how Nintendo deals with the threat of mobile for starters. 

Did you watch the video at all? Even if was on the Japanese message board that's still not a crediable source. 

We should be able to discuss it and it is from a Japanese message board. Not from NeoGaf. And generally NeoGaf is pretty good at squashing rumors that eminate from their site anyway. 

If you feel that it's not credible so be it, but other people want to discuss it.
