Update: Nintendo has sent out the following statement which officially confirms Mofitt’s departure:

“Scott Moffitt, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has decided to leave Nintendo of America. In order to ensure a smooth transition, Scott will continue to work through the end of July. Nintendo has a strong group of seasoned leaders in place who will step in to assume the full responsibilities of the role on a permanent basis, with the objective of driving more collaboration and greater efficiencies across these groups and among the respective leaders. We thank Scott for his years of service and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

Scott Mofitt joined Nintendo in 2011. IGN is now reporting that the company’s executive VP of sales and marketing is departing this summer.

According to IGN’s sources, Moffitt and Nintendo’s split was “amicable.” While the executive VP of sales and marketing position has been around since 2011, it’s now apparently being retired. Various Nintendo employees will assume the responsibilities of the role going forward.
