I find it interesting that they chose a man with no background in game development. Nothing wrong with that; I think it's actually good because he might be more willing to change/advance in the damn habits ("tradition") Nintendo has.

you sure about that? i mean the no background in game development-

from what i read his first 30 years was at a bank. 

here: from the OP

He studied at Hitotsubashi University's Faculty of Law, and before joining Nintendo was employed by The Sanwa Bank (now UFJ Bank Ltd.) for 27 years, dealing with aspects such as corporate planning, international business development, communications and promotions. His tenure with the bank would give him valuable global experience as he found himself posted to a wide variety of locations in the US, including New York, LA and San Francisco.
