Will Iwata have to Resign?

Wii U sales are not bad. Wii U is doing exactly as the Wii was doing at first as far as I am concerned

Not yet. The original Wii sold 9 million worldwide in it's first 8 months. The Wii U has done 1/2 that in just over a year. Not bad, but nowhere near the original. I expect a huge spike when Mario Kart 8 is released however!

He won't resign. however, there will be some big changes to Nintendo. They'll probably start catching up to the times now.

I certainly hope so. As much as I love Nintendo's unique approaches, they need to admit the times they don't work.
