The key to Furukawa's legacy could be consistency; for all the great things both Yamauchi and Iwata achieved, neither were able to maintain a consistent level of performance, with Nintendo under their stewardship varying from thriving to struggling.

There's a place for a steady, competent leader to bring some much needed long term stability.

Yes.

Kimishima (while considered an official President) could be considered a de facto interim President given he was only in the role for about 2.75 years (33 months). He was a pretty stable leader because the writing was on the wall for the Wii U at that point and Switch had already been greenlit. 3DS continued to be profitable through his time as well. 

Kimishima has very few, if any, failures that come to mind. 

If Switch 2 is a success (very likely). Furukawa will be a contender for the best. It makes me wonder if he'll retire in his late 50s to early 60s so he can go out on a very high note. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
