With George Harrison and Perrin Kaplan headed out the door, Nintendo have been stuck with the duty of replacing them. Turns out, they found themselves a couple of folks to fill in those shoes left behind. And, considering that Perrin was with Nintendo for 15 years and George was there for just as long, we're sure those shoes are quite old and smelly. Replacing Perrin is Cammie Dunway, who took the job after parting ways with Yahoo!, where she served as chief marketing officer. Based on where Yahoo! is now, you can imagine how integral she was there. And, replacing George, is Shigeyuki Takahashi, who was promoted internally from a previous position he took up in 2006 as president of Nintendo Research Inc (although it looks like the position's responsibilities are expanded). His previous employment involved a position at Sanwa Bank, where he worked for thirty years.

Do we really care who does the job as long as the job gets done and is done correct?

We'll give it a year or so... See if Nintendo America changes much before I start to care. If it improves for the better, which will have a knock-on effect in Europe, then good. If it goes down the shitter even more and Europe suffers even more as a result, then there will be some burning at the stake. But at the moment, couldn't really give a monkeys.
