It's good that they're making progress, even if they need to do more.  I think with e-waste the issue is with recovering certain elements, though I don't know about the Nintendo situation specifically.

This is what I was referring to:

"Gaming giant Nintendo is the worst company for ensuring that materials used in its electronics are not linked to bloodshed in war-torn regions"  http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0616-conflict-minerals.html#vAuzg3qTTbtPIsLU.99

Nintendo got the lowest score of ANY company, though it looks like Japanese companies in general aren't very good.

Blood Diamond 2: Nintendo's Wrath

They are probably going for the cheapest price on materials and don't care too much about conflicts in certain areas (Africa).  They could probably care a little more but more people would probably care about the system price than people dying in war torn areas.  People mainly like to seem to care.

OK, that was pretty funny.  I had an image of Iwata dressed up like Indiana Jones, whip and everything.
