Hiroshi Yamauchi, the man in Japan

Forbes of Japan has compiled a list of Japan's 40 richest men. Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo is in at the number 3 spot. His rise up the list is in part attributed to Big N's shares tripling in value from DS and Wii sales.

I saw a middle aged woman playing DS on the bus today. Rock on!

I saw her too. I was actually stalking you, but I caught her out of the corner of my eye and thought "Sweet. I wish I had one of those" (I was thinking of the middle-aged woman when I said "one of those").

All that money and no time to spend it - because you're busy making awesome games to make even more money. That's a rich guy's way of thinking.

Nintendo had the perfect theory: Buttons intimidate non-gamers. Anybody can touch or shake their way through.

ROCK ON MAN! The other day I saw 2 preteen girls playing like nintendogs. It was awesome. But it was in a theater and there was a guy with a psp near them, and he turns to the guy next to him and points at the girls and laughs. Then I'm sure he went back to playing a crappy ps2 port.
