Iwata implies he may resign over poor sales performance
Satoru Iwata has been Nintendo’s corporate president and CEO for over a decade. But if the company can’t reach a goal of 100 billion yen in operating income for the next fiscal year, Iwata has hinted that he may be willing to step down.
Iwata noted during an analysts’ meeting earlier today:
“We feel greatly accountable for this severe outlook. …we plan to actively release our key titles for Nintendo 3DS which could potentially lead the markets this year.”
Iwata was later asked how he would take responsibility if the goal is not met. In response, he said:
“Please understand that [achieving it] is my commitment.”
