Reggie is a comedic figour head (playing a archtype "fool") that they use in presentations to the american public, to demonstrate how things work.... typically by haveing reggie use a device/game and him being silly, adds abit of humor to it.

How is someone portraited as a comedian/fool, at events, to add humor to nintendos presentations, ever going to be taken seriously enough to be the president of a company like nintendo?

This isnt ment to be mean, I know Reggie is a tallented person, and its just a role he puts on... but he has a persona in the publics eye that every differnt from what you would expect of the president of a company like nitnendo.

 

also Reggie has made some weird PR statements.... some of which make him appear untrustworthy.

That is not what you want in a president of a company.

Look at his track record.  No one blamed Reggie for the reception the Wii U got.  It was always Iwata that took the punishment.  Reggie, fool or not, has been at this title for the last 10 years.  And still no sign that t hey are fed up with him.  They could have named another person to take his place a long time ago, he must have been good enough at his job. 

As for foolish, Iwata were in some of the same Nintendo Directs, being ham with both Miyamoto and Reggie.  "Fool" archtype, and so was Iwata.  He was never taken seriously, or should have been taken serously, as he fights Reggie in full amimated combat with one another.  Nintendo is a kooky ass company.  So they'll just have another kooky ass president. 

Please tell me you're not American.
