Iwata has no plans to resign from Nintendo
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made a few comments earlier this year suggesting that he could resign if the company continued to experience poor sales performances. Iwata never actually used the word “resign”, but his remarks pointed in that direction somewhat – and the Japanese media also pointed to the possibility of Iwata stepping down.
But no need to worry: it doesn’t sound like Iwata has any intentions to resign.
During the company’s latest investor’s meeting, someone asked the CEO directly if he would leave if Nintendo is unable to reach his “commitment” to hit a business profit goal of ¥100 billion.
Iwata responded: “I don’t recall saying I’d resign.” He also said that Nintendo should be focusing on achieving its goal rather than concentrating on failure.
