pachter admit deep down inside you want to be the CEO of nintendo XD

Nintendo needs to be reshuffled at the top. Plain and simple. They're a great company with great products (by that I mean IPs), but the decisions they've been making have been ridiculous (to say the least). I can't say I disagree with Pachter here. Sony gave Ken Kutaragi and other slackers the boot - Ninty should do the same,

No Iwata is perfect. That Nintendo still publishes such masterpieces means he keeps his people happy and motivated. So many top games Nintendo produces dont come from nowere

Yeah, Sony should totally fire Kaz Hirai! He's the one responseble for the Vita, and that's arguably an even bigger flop than Wii U! Off with his head!

Okay, so it is confirmed, Wii U will have the strongest year of all consoles next year, Iwata will be a hero of industry, and the PS4 is doomed, great... I am happy about the first two, because it will serve me with moar zelda sooner rather than later... but why do you hate the PS4 so much Pachter...

I dont really see how Iwata should be fired. Most companies kill for a CEO that will make them Billions even for a little whole, not to mention years on end. The fact that the 3DS is selling what it is during the era of smartphones alone, not to mention that Wii U sales are picking up is enough to keep the guy. If Wii U sells under 35 million lifetime then yes he should be fired but we are jumping to comclusions way too soon.

Poor comparison since Kaz is the CEO of Sony, the much wider group, and his actions have been helpful to that group rather than pernicious (unlike other decision makers). Nice try though.

When the Vita came out he was CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, so pretty much what Iwata is as CEO of Nintendo Co., ltd. right now.

Neither do I.

That does not alter the fact that the net result of his decision making has been positive as opposed to the net result with the decision making taking place at Nintendo. It's not just signing off on a product, but how you handle it in the aftermath. You can point your finger at Sony for some things pertaining to the Vita, but for every finger you point there are 10 more waiting to show Nintendo's bad decision making.
