don't know the exact story as it was just twitter and according to Nikkei. I need more concrete information and if the president himself said anything. it could be written out of context or a misunderstanding on how he wanted to say something about their current home console.
edit:
from Wii U Daily:
2) According to the Nikkei, Kimishima predicted Wii U’s failure when it was introduced by warning it’s too similar to the original Wii.
Wanted to know the question, or how Kimishima came into Wii U's failure. And it is fine if he acknowledges their failed product, it means they know their mistakes, and they would rectify it.
3) Despite his business background, he is quoted as saying it’s wrong to lead a gaming company on numbers alone.
it means that it is not all about the money. which is good, hopefully they'll do it right for NX.
