I'm not an analyst and it's pretty obvious Miyamoto won't become the lead.

Because he says he doesn't want to.

I could have told you that. Miyamoto loves making games and becoming CEO would make it hard for him to do so.

Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

I'm calling it now, it's going to be Miyamoto.

Yeah, as great as Miyamoto is at making games, I don't exactly see him as being CEO.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Based on what little I know of him, I suspect it's not a role he'd want. He very much seems more like an eccentric game developer than the CEO type... Just can't see him in that role.
