“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Partially because it was so far out of left field. I really didn't see it coming.

Also one hting the USA will always have is the "best national anthem" title.

You should have gone there in person. ^.~

 

Oh please, I've heard FDR's, JFK's, and MLK's speeches in a classroom while I was half asleep. Those really get to you. This one just lacked the oomph of those.

But did you hear them in 10 degree weather?  I'm sure you'd have at least gotten a few chills/goosebumps.
