Athaba said: He got into this position at a hard time for nintendo. Now things are looking way better, and while not all of that success can be his archievement, the company is at a much better position than when he started. Looks like he did a great job! Maybe at this age, he thinks that now, where nintendo is back in it's good way, he can rest a bit and let the younger people move on. He is 68, so a retirement - with a bit of advising the new directors - seems to be a good move. |
He was already planning to retire he's had a long career which also involved a run in finance which as someone working in that field I can tell you it is taxing, Iwata's passing forced him to put his retirement on hold until a permanent President could be installed.
