Yamauchi Retiring from Nintendo's Board

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the calling-it-quits dept.

terrisus writes "While he had stepped down as President a few years back, Hiroshi Yamauchi had remained on Nintendo's Board of Directors. In June, however, Yamauchi will now be retiring from the Board of Directors as well. He will be foregoing his multi-million dollar retirement package, instead desiring the money be put to work in other places. He will still be a 10% stockholder in the company. It's sad to see him go."

    And the same stubborness and lack of reality that allowed them to rebuild and reinvent the game industry in the '80s. What exactly should they be doing differently? Losing money? Killing hookers? Forcing the industry into stasis?
