Now I'm curious about those "other areas of our business that require his presence in Japan.” Are they real or just an excuse?

Nintendo is launching a massive mobile iniciative later this year, so they're very much real.

This year? I thought their plan was to launch 5 games up to 2017 or something like that, that's not what I'd call "massive".
