"I do not understand video games and I even feel angry because, at Nintendo's shareholders' meetings, the shareholders always discuss things relating to video games or such childish topics as "what the future of video games should be,"
There's even more fun quotes in the link. So what do you guys think of this? Personally my only response was a big ol' facepalm, but maybe you guys can come up with something far better than that.

I think in the end this is a poor expression of a frustration of the shareholder about the meeting. He feels it should be a by the number shareholder meetings that talks about things numerically.

Forgive my lack of knowledge about this sort of thing, but shouldn't he understand video games to understand the numbers behind it?

Not necessarily.
There is a lot of investors who understand the financial side of a company but couldn't tell you in detail about there products. Just not super relevant in the opinion poll that is the Stock Market.

The problem isn't that he didn't know much on the subject; most investors aren't usually experts on everything they invest in. Voicing that ignorant anger in an investors meeting, however, is pretty stupid.
