Wii U is no longer selling at a loss, which worried investors.
With the coming games for 3DS and Wii U, both systems are bound to rank in some profits for the company. Wii U, probably not as much as 3DS, but still, it will depend on it´s release schedule.

If Wii U was bound to continue losses for another year and there was no QoL incoming, i could see Iwata in serious trouble.

Who will they replace him with, I wonder. They may replace him with someone who in unqualified like Sony did. That would be a disaster, worse than the disaster that iwata is.

Welp I came here thinking someone took a photo of Iwata crying in a corner of his office, now I'm dissapointed
I hope he stays, cause that way nothing will change.

Im sure his confidence vote will be in the ~50, maybe high 40, either way about half of his shareholders will doubt his ability to lead Nintendo thru whatever changes they make.

Iwata is a known flip flopper.. him in regards to a single game changing a systems fortune (Gamecube)

“I think the biggest problem we were having was that thinking (that) one single software can make a great change on hardware sales. But we have come to realize by now that the circumstances have changed. No single software can do it, but rather, Nintendo, or more specifically GameCube, does need a great variety of different software which must be put into the market at appropriate intervals. Nintendo has to concentrate on something which is really unique to Nintendo.”

Him two weeks ago on the Wii U:

"The fate of a video game system is often influenced greatly by the introduction of a single title," Iwata said. "As many of you probably remember, before the release of the Pokémon game, Game Boy had been showing slow growth, and many people wondered whether it was the end of Game Boy. But the Pokémon game singlehandedly changed the landscape of the system, which then started to show the strongest sales in the lifecycle of the system."

Im sure the only reason why he would keep his job is that there is no one currently who has the balls to step up and replace him

They should, which means they will.

True, it's not selling at all

Me obviously

Phil Harrison, that needs to happen, balance requires it!

I honestly think this is his last chance. If 2014 doesn't work, bye bye Iwata

When is the voting exactly?
