Wasn't Nintendo at one point a love hotel company too?

Yep. No one knows what the hell happened, but now it makes games.

That business failed like many others Yamauchi's attempts to make money.

Before entering the videogame business, he risked to lose the family factory.

Now Yamauchi is the richest man in Japan.

 

 

He struck gold in Shiggy

 

Well id suggest its alot more than Shiggy. They got Iwata and it was his balls on the line when they went with DS and Wii. Shigeru might have come up with the idea but Iwata said "go team". You notice he's the guy thats been talkin about bathroom scales, be thankfull theres visionary executives working in japan still.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
