One thing I don't understand about the feelings toward Nintendo. I agree with Kyle Bosman that people like Satoru Iwata, while they may not be the best CEO's, are refreshing to have in the gaming industry just by the fact that you can tell how seriously the man takes video games. And by seriously, I don't mean that he thinks it's something to live and die by, but something that is to be enjoyed by people of any age.
However, Kyle also said this made Iwata likeable, while I also agree with since Iwata is amazing. So then, why does it seem like many people (and I'm not talking about those in the gaming industry, just regular forum dwellers and "analysts") call for Iwata's head on a pike to resign as CEO or root for Nintendo to go third party? Perhaps it isn't important at all that CEO's play or love video games, as people will hate them all the same.
