Yamauchi transformed the corporation far more than Iwata. But Yamauchi was far more of a scumbag than Iwata ever could be. Yamauchi was greedy and arrogant.
I ultimately say Iwata is better because even if he had a lot of ups and downs and wasn't the most effective leader, he took a big paycut after a rough patch. That's true leadership. He also was a genius game programmer. Iwata is a much better person, and I say that's enough to give him the edge here.
I say that Furukawa has the potential to be the best CEO Nintendo has ever had. If he can keep up Nintendo's strengths and acknowledge its failings, he's gonna be great.
