I'm sorry, I don't usually put emoticons in my posts. Makes it fun to wonder if I'm being serious, see.

He's the the main cause (mostly) that Nintnedo is in this mess IMO. After they finished developing the N64, any developer that didn't agree with him were told to basicly fuck off (hence how the playstation was born). Thats why/where/when they started to drop support for Nintendo and started losing sales and their recognition because the aging man was still president.

If his develoepement team were told to develope a better N64 (perhaps cartridge-less) then maybe the company wouldn't have suffered, He should've stepped down a generation earlier, and MAYBE...just maybe Nintendo wouldn't be the way they are now. 

Sony were planning the Playstation long before the N64 was announced. They wanted strong software to push their own hardware, and owning the rights to all Nintendo's CD-based SNES titles was how they hoped to do it. People too often forget that BOTH sides of the partnership were being devious cunts.

You can't simplify history by blaming it all on one event, person, or decision.

What I meant what you bolded was aimed at the Mr. Yamauhci alienating thrid party that led to some comapnies stop supporting them (not the PS). The second statement bolded was about the contract (guess I merged the two together...my mistake). Yeah both sides were at fault..That I did should've mentioned.

Yeah the cd tech was in the works during the early 80s and Ninty worked with them until he canceld the project before things werer set. But what I was simply trying to say is that he was a jerk/uptight. He fired people here and there and he even terminated family members. But if he would have worked with others much better then he woud'nt have pissed of a lot of people and vice versa. I know others were at fault but because was the president, he made the decisions along with the board of directors of course. It's just my opinion anyway so I'm not trying to start something here.
