Iwata led us though the Wii/Ds generation which did really well I'd rather see Iwata lead Nintendo to a epic come back rather than just give up and look cowardly, however he could have a Lil bit more character in ND oh and hurry on flipnote D:< it's been 3 years!

You have a point, but just because Iwata led us through the "Golden Ages" of Wii & DS doesn't mean anything. First of the Wii is a dust collecter, it was good at first but then it died off. Nintendo was like "We going to bring more games for Wii" What happened? Nothing, No games. Second the DS was only good because of parents buying it for there kids. It only had good games and the only reason why Wii was some what successful. Is because people only bought it for Wii sports, Wii Sports resort, Smash bros., and Mario Kart. Apparently some of ya'll are still stuck in the past, just like Nintendo is. What ya'll need to worry about is what's happening "Right Now". Numbers are numbers. The data never lies, and its time for him to go. Sorry but that's how I feel, I like him. He's cool and all but someone needs to change Nintendo.

@kereke12
The 3DS is still doing pretty well, with Iwata currently as the CEO. What exactly do you expect to change?

This argument ignores an obvious fact. Numbers have this funny tendency to change. Assuming that once things go poorly, once, things will always go poorly is a logical fallacy in itself, but to apply that to a decision involving someone else's job is beyond foolish. Nintendo has done just fine, up until now, so why assume it won't rebound?

Besides. I can directly counter your argument, because as a consumer,I consider the Wii U to be the best Nintendo system to date.

Think more recently. He successfully prevented the 3DS from flopping and turned it into a major success despite all the nay-sayers.

Really? It seemed like we got a steady stream of games throughout the Wii's life.... And the Wii being a dust collector? Entirely your opinion. I still love my Wii, it had solid games, and it most certainly did not die off. Console sales did drop, that's true, but that's because almost everyone owned one.

You didn't like the DS era? Fine. But you can't fault Iwata for the best selling handheld of all time.

Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Xenoblade Chronicles, WiiWare, and Virtual Console. All compelling reasons to own a Wii. Again, you can't fault Iwata for people buying a Wii just for Wii Sports.

Focusing exclusively on what's happening right now almost always leads to a company's demise. If we did just that, then we wouldn't have, for example, Steve Jobs's fantastic leadership and innovation. Despite your thoughts, Nintendo's conservatism is an advantage. You must have foresight.

And don't forget the 3DS. It's an overwhelming success. Iwata helped with that too.

And the data? You're right, it never lies. And it's saying that even now, a large majority STILL approve of Iwata as CEO.

If Nintendo spent enough money, they could be more popular than Playstation at this very moment. The amount it would take to do so would require Nintendo to lose so much more money on their products and require such a marketing budget that they would risk their own demise, but hey their video game console would be more popular than another video game console for a certain period of time and it would get a port of whatever game is trying to be COD this week. Yay?

That its a continuing to go down? And when you combine that with the other things happening to Nintendo right now its pretty clear hes on the hot seat.

As opposed to what?
Not spending money like they do now and still losing money?

I dont see what you're trying to say here.

Four more months until Bayonetta 2.

Have you forgotten that Nintendo is constantly expanding its resources, which can also contribute to losses?

Not really. Sony sold 7 million consoles in 6 months, and they still lost money.

Dreamcast was popular, then Sega had to end it due to lack of funding
Playstation 3 was popular, yet it took Sony a couple of years before it became profitable.
Some of Square Enix's franchises are popular, yet they were still posting losses.

So...not exactly

@SCAR392 @Unca_Lz

!= means not equal to. So,@Dreamz point is valid. Popularity doesn't mean profitability.

He can't give release dates for games being developed by third parties....

monolith soft is fully owned by nintendo. This makes them 1 st party. X is being made by monolith soft. So tired of saying this.
