I will say for once, I agree with you. Context or not, if you are trying to make a point, you don't make a jab at someone like that.

Agreed. I have seen this it is somehwta taken out of context but it still remains disrespectfull. Pachter slowly moves from a decent guy who was shit at predicting, towards and arrogant fucker who is still shit at predicting.

But Iwata really wasn`t great. Wii U is a disaster, in his turn the company came from a smash hit with the Wii to the Wii U fiasco. Even if he was behind the Wii, in corporative world the only move that matters is your last move.

No one talks bad about Iwata. NOBODY. Patcher manages to make himself look worse in my eyes. I don't care if he apologized. The damage is done.

His last move would be the NX, and as far as the success or failure of someones career, it is a cumulative of everything one has done. His move to put Nintendo on mobile has been a success, the 3ds was financially a big success (even if sales are waning). His plan to expand into other media has results that have yet to be seen, but I can assure you will be a pretty huge success. The legacy of Iwata is far from over, and are all VERY smart moves financially. And this is not even beginning to dive into his contributions as a developer.

Saying he was not so great because of Wii U is so selective and short sighted, its laughable.

Eh there's nothing wrong with saying you don't think Iwata is that great.

But the phrase "late and not so great" is inappropriate.

Come on, that's not exactly a very bad thing to say, and it's not like you can't criticize dead people too. It was perhaps a bit untasteful, but no need to be dramatic about it.

His last move would also include the 3DS though if we're not counting NX, Wii U is really the only downside.
