You should read over what you have written here again


I'm not really a part of this conversation, but you post does nothing to move things along. Why should he read it over? What parts do you disagree with? Come on man, engage!

I've explained enough times. If he doesn't understand and continues to ignore my points, then I'm not going to waste my time further. Simple



Firing him will change nothing. I agree that he is annoying though, especially since E3.

Reading through your conversation, I don't see what your complaint here is.  If anything, you claimed that he was probably fine at his job aside from marketing. Then, when fireburn pointed out some of the issues NoA has had you said that he didn't hold responsibility for them which really doesn't leave much left for Reggie to do but make marketing decisions, which he has done poorly.

As for what might actually be happening, if Reggies position is anything like other regional heads in other companies, his role probably looks something like this.

Manage both marketing and product packaging strategies (bundles, deals ect.) for the given region. Make decisions, or advice, on which products and strategies are suited to the market, both exsisting and upcoming. Advocate for your region in matters of product development. marketing priority, and company focus.

If NoA is doing badly in many of those areas (they are), then as far as Reggies performance goes there are really only a few possibilities.

1. He agrees with/ made the bad decisions that have led NoA to where they are now.

2. He has been innefective at convincing the international heads of this ideas to make things better.

3. He holds little real power and all of the important decisions are truely made at the international level.

Really, #2 is the only one that could justify keeping him on. If he's making good suggestions that just aren't being listened to, than it's someone at the international level that needs to go. But we have no way of knowing if that's the case.

The one thing we do know, is that his words and actions as of late have done more to hurt Nintendo in America than they have done to help them. That doesn't wash away any good he's done for them, especially since his fumbles have largely been recent. But he certainly needs to shut his trap and work on making NoA as good as they need to be, rather than trying to tell us that they already are as good as they need to be.

Blaming Reggie for a lack of games? Blaming reggie for a lack of North American developers? These things are handled by the guidance of the parent company. Reggie isn't going to greenlight games and set-up studios without the folks in Japan in greenlighting.

People here miscontrue NoA's role and the amount of power they hold. They're mostly here to handle distribution, marketing, PR and other business stuff, they are lackeys of the parent companies. Most of the important stuff is done by the top dogs in Japan. If you are going to point fingers, point them at the right people for the right reasons.

I don't think he needs to go, but he seriously has to change his attitude. Nintendo needs their own Yoshida! Sympathie people are always a plus for PR and right now, Reggie isn't sympathic at all.

You're nitpicking that one point which still falls pretty neatly into the "he's not doing/being effective enough when it comes to advocating for his market".  You act like he's the head of Nintendo of New Zeland. He's the regional head of Nintendos largest market. His advice should hold a great deal of sway over what goes not with Nintendo in America.

You specifically point out marketing and PR when those are the two areas where he is obviously not doing a good job.

Hé is thé don mattrick of Nintendo, or maybe even worse

Hé can be so stupid and arrogant sometimes " i didnt try new VR tech but it doesnt seems good lol ",
And hé dares open his mouth on thé compétition while they made an awful conférence and made understand thé WiiU is dead for thème by telling US all thé next big announcement wont be on WiiU, wow.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Nitpicking? It clearly shows he is poor understanding on the business structure and his anger is unfounded. You, by dismissing it as nitpicking, are trying to spin it to suit your argument

Their marketing may be bad in America for Wii U, but let's not pretend that the business dealing in NA has been a trainwreck, because it isn't. 

Calling for someones resignation strongly on the reason that reggie took jabs at the competition is beyond ridiculous.

I say nitpicking because he mentions quite a few things in that post and you keep holding up that one example as proof that he has no idea what he's talking about when as I said, is still something the head of NoA would have at least a hand in dealing with.

What business dealing? What has Nintendo done well on it's business side as of late?

I'm not saying that agree in saying he should resign, I'm saying the points you are so eager to dismiss are certainly valid and reflect poorly on his job performance.

Also, why do you always jump right to claims of bias? I'll back up any and everything I say.
