Forums - Nintendo - Yamauchi is ther richest man in Japan

Yeah, but I'm the richest man in my house! And I won't let Yamauchi come over!



Around the Network

Yamauchi is a stud. I think he's using some loose change to build a poetry museum in Japan now(not joking). It's kind of funny that I owe so much joy in my life to a billionaire Japanese guy who would probably rip my head off if he thought I had a dime hidden in my brain.

 Yamauchi's business genius was that he had the superpower to know how to milk every possible dime he could out of creative geniuses, like Miyamoto and Yokoi.  Oh man he got so many dimes out of their brains!



I guess Mr Satoru and Mr Shigeru got a few dollars too ;)

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

So the richest Japanese guy is formerly from Nintendo besting the Toyota guys. Just wow!

I hate these articles, they say "whose Konami gaming company makes videogames for Sony's (nyse: SNE - news - people ) PlayStation and Microsoft's (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Xbox." Which is stylistic unclear, making it sound to investor's like they only make games for those two franchises.

Why don't they just say "who is a major shareholder of Konami video game developer and publisher."

I am not a grammar- or spelling-Nazi but clarity is important.

Oh, and wow at both video games making people mega wealthy.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

thats crazy, the wii and ds are going to take over the world

I don't believe you.  I'm going to go ask my Wii.


 

Wii can take over the world, but not for long

Since PS3 can fire missiles, PS4 can destory the world.

 

After PS3' te years plan, the end of the world will be 2017



I am green with envy knowing how much this Yamauchi dude is worth. Nah lol, good luck to him.
There are a lot of billionaire Asian businessmen. That number is on the increase due to booming economies in particular China and India. We have seen high levels of economic industry growth in both of those countries.

@celine: you've got the ultimate avatar for this forum!

But OT, congratulations for Yamauchi, the man that made a small card-producing company in the biggest gaming firm in the world and the third biggest company in Japan!

But what will he do with the money when he dies? I quess he just gives it to Nintendo, since he also gave all his retirement money to Nintendo when Iwata took over.
