Are these actual quotes? I remember Yamauchi to be a friend of open and honest talk, but these are ... almost insulting. xD

That's one way to put it.

B. Gates: "If Hiroshi Yamauchi calls, he will be directly transferred to me"

H. Yamauchi: “Everyone agrees that Bill Gates is a great businessman, but he’s only human. There is one thing he knows nothing about, and that’s games.  If you know nothing about sumo, you can’t expect to take on a Yokozuna"

"There are a lot of people who really do not know about games in the industry. Especially one big company in the USA thinks that it can use a lot of money to surround itself with software companies and accomplish what Nintendo has done."

"I don’t think the Xbox will do very well in Japan. The same old genres and development methods still work in America, but they won’t interest the more discriminating gamers of Japan."
