I was checking his blog and came across this:

The buzz (bzzz bzzz bzzz) going around is that Reggie Fils-Aime is looking to jump ship not soon after the Wii U launch. This could just as well be wild speculation. But there has been much of his behavior that mimics other game company heads before they fly. He always sounds so defensive in interviews now. And I could not keep my eyes off him during the TVii presentation. He looked very depressed. Reggie reminds me of Sega’s Kalinske.If we’re tired of Nintendo’s BS, just imagine how it is for Reggie. The thing is that NCL blames Reggie before they blame their developers. If the 3DS is not selling, they blame Reggie and not the designer of the 3DS (which was Miyamoto) or the software makers. To this day, Miyamoto blames the failure on the Virtual Boy on Nintendo’s marketers and not on the product or the people behind it.It’s amazing that when the Nintendo product fails, the marketer is always to blame. But when the Nintendo product succeeds, the developers get all the credit.

Really?....I hadn´t heard anything.

Though I agree with him about Reggie looking depressed.

he looked bored, not depressed

Get him on board Sony!

Please don't leave Reggie!!

I'll admit, Reggie does seem a bit off lately.

Probably them blaming him that the 3DS isn't selling as well in Europe as it is in Japan.

You´re gonna take his place, aren´t you?

wii u interview with him

he's probably sick and tired of the gaming community and the constant burning questions and negative response.

just check out this quote from the man himself earlier this year. article here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/26/are-gamers-insatiable

“One of the things that, on one hand, I love and, on the other hand, that troubles me tremendously about not only our fanbase but about the gaming community at large is that, whenever you share information, the perspective is, 'Thank you, but I want more.' 'Thank you, but give me more.' I mean, it is insatiable. For years this community has been asking, 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' We give them Pikmin. And then they say, 'What else?'"

EDIT: Hold on did you just cite Malstrom as a reliable source? Of all people?

Geez.

Even if this is the case. It doesn't imply anything about the company. I am sure many of you are going to run riot on it with insinuations about it being a bad work environment. When it could just be that the work environment may not be meeting his needs. Perhaps he would like a job that allows for less travel, or would allow him to spend more time with his family. Maybe he wants to make more money. Maybe he finds another industry more compelling. Maybe he would just want a change of scenery.

There are a lot of reasons to leave a job, or change jobs that have nothing to do with a particular job itself being a bad job. Fuck he might just want to work in a more hospitable climate. Say one that never sees snow, or where it isn't raining every other day. In the dead of winter how many of us think the exact same thing.

I am not saying it is true, but why think of the possibility in only negative terms.
