He's not a good president. He should have stuck to what he's good at.

He was president during the Wii and DS era as well. You know...Nintendos best selling console and handheld of all time..

...And how does that change anything? The Wii is part of the reason the Wii U crashed so hard.

He's a crazy smart guy and very respectable. I love Nintendo's staff. Their goal is to make good games and nothing else, of course money comes with the territory, but their vibe is so inspirational to me.

He's not a good president. He should have stuck to what he's good at.

Under his stewardship Nintendo have shifted over 300 million units of gaming hardware, and god knows how many games. They have also made record profits, and secured the long term future of the company. What more can the guy do? Wii U isnt doing so hot, but i reckon it will have been a profitable venture by the end of the gen. Iwata knows a good deal how to run a company than you or i.
