Like it has been said, Kimishima is more focused on the core of any business, making money. The guy's first achievements were working at a bank, not a game company. So he's going to probably squeeze the most out of Nintendo.

Iwata...he's different. He was a visionary and visionaries don't necessarily put money and expectations from the press and core audience ahead of them. He was the embodiment of "Giving you what you thought you didn't want". And sometimes it worked, and other times it didn't. Iwata's plan of business is high risk, high reward or high risk, low reward, it's all or nothing. But with Kimishima he's going to do the sensible thing. Either low risk, low reward or low risk high or medium reward. It's a very stable business practice.

But all in all, NX is still Iwata's last hurrah. His late, great, project. It'll be Kimishima's job to helm Iwata's idea. We'll see Kimishima's real chops after NX.
