Can we really judge his investments just yet? There haven't been any exits/bankruptcies just yet (apart from Housing.com) , so it's too early to judge. And it looks like he left over disagreements with how soon he would takeover from Masayoshi Son.

My (uninformed) read was that was allowing him to save face. You are right, though. It can take a while to determine effectiveness of acquisitions. Perhaps it was performance on the large ones?
It could also be cultural. It's very hard for foreigners to run Japanese companies, even iconoclastic ones.
