I just have to say that picking a 65 year old to lead your company is not a good long term prospect. Thats usually retirement age.

For us it is... but Yamauchi was 77 when he let Iwata take over Nintendo, so who knows?

Yamauchi was a special talent though. Many of the greatest Nintendo franchises that have been around for the last 30 years was his call and his call alone. He had a knack for intuition and was more like a Japanese Steve Jobs.
