Yeah I can't remember why, but something once went wrong which made Yamauchi conservative to the point where he thought the company should always have at least $5billion in reserve just in case, because if they went bankrupt he wanted to be able to pay his shareholders or something. It's an honour thing I suppose, if Nintendo make a mistake they don't want the consequences passed onto other people.

If anyone has a more detailed version with fewer "or somethings" I would appreciate it. Edit, what are dividends?
