Of course he was also responsible for Wii U, which makes assessing his achievements trickier.

He is the man behind Wii and Switch. Falling with Wii U doesn't change the fact that he produced 2 of Nintendo best selling home consoles. Wii sold more than any Nintendo "pure home consoles". Switch, being a hybrid, managed to surpass Nintendo DS.

Also, one can argue that DS is also Iwata child! yamauchi is, likely, less involved with project since he left in early 2002.

Hit and miss has the miss part as well. I don't like cherry picking myself, but to each their own.
