Tbh he's pretty on point business wise, the Switch is being handled much better than what Wii U was (he disagreed with the approach and handling of the latter), the mobile venture has so far been a diamond mine that has pushed the IPs that have so far touched it as well as the dedicated gaming side of things and the company seems to have a more positive feel overall.

Some people are up in arms over the Wii success comment well that statement tells me how high he's aiming for the company which is a positive as I get the impression that he'll do what has to be done to achieve that or get as close to that as possible.

The people who actually live in fantasy land are those who expect Nintendo to sell less than 20m units of the Switch and act as if the Wii, DS and 3DS do not count but only sales of the Wii U. It's an extrem form of reality distortion. Nintendo has been the market leader for handheld consoles since the release of the original Gameboy and led the market with the Wii but people just ignore all of that because of one failed console. Also, Kimishima never said that about the Wii U. It's, again, a case where people twisted his words and fabricated some sort of alternate reality simply to have another point to mock Nintendo. Kimishima is doing a great job so far. 

Well the switch was pretty much 80% finalised before he took over. Even if he didn't like it he could't steer that ship into another direction.

The next console will be telling.

I never criticized the president before, but I don't think it will sell Wii levels

Probably best to wait for the actual launch first :p

:D
Glad to add something to the discussion.

It's true what you said. As great as it is seeing Nintendo focusing one a single "platform", it's also true that their mainline franchises might not see more than 1/2 games per generation and thus making Nintendo less money (although, it will/can also mean that those studios will focus on something else for the rest of the generation).

I don't see Nintendo making more games per year than they already do. They might decrease the number in favor of bigger, more demanding games (tough crowds these days). And that could also mean less revenue/profits at the end of they day.

What i expected since Iwata started talking about two systems being brothers - you know, that talk - was that we would see 2 consoles sharing the same library.
Two different systems attract, almost by definition, more people. Thus, by increasing your market, you should increase revenue and profits (if sold at a profit).
But what we see is - and there is nothing pointing at a HH, at least not for now - Nintendo sticking with one device. And that can only mean less money for them at the end.

Of course, NIntendo can offset this "decrease" in revenue if they are successful with their new business strategy of using their IPs for merchandise, movies, theme parks and whatnot, but in the console business there's a added risk of decreasing your marketshare or userbase: if you fail, there's nothing to cover the losses and we might see more pressure by shareloders saying something like "Nintendo doesn't make the same money on consoles as they did before. Go full force on mobile".
