No one can replace phil

I think it's a good thing, it's a nice fresh start, let's see what he is made of.

 I agree. :(

I wonder what Reggie will do to this new guy...

Game Developers Conference 2007:

Waiting for the Miyamoto keynote to start, I’m sitting three rows from the front. Close enough to see Nintendo's resident BMOC, Reggie Fils-Aime at the front of the crowd, working it with his trademark smile and good will. He poses for pictures, he signs Wiimotes, he presses the flesh with a goodnatured ease that would make even the most seasoned politician weep with envy.

"Kick his ass and take his name!" someone shouted from a few rows behind me.

"Who?" answered Reggie in mid-autograph.

"Phil Harrison, front row!" Sure enough, there was Phil Harrison, seated dead center, front row. Looks like he could show up on time for Nintendo’s keynote, but not Sony's.

With a grin and a chuckle, Reggie replies, "Some would say we’ve already done that."

Touchdown. The crowd goes wild.
