As you probably heard, Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, died this weekend at 55 of a bile duct growth. He was the consummate businessman, taking hits to his own pay before letting his employees lose money, and remembering that he was selling an entertainment product and thus presenting himself having fun with it.
Just a few weeks ago, he personally apologized when people thought the E3 presentations were lackluster. That takes chutzpah.
