YamauchiVideogame legends are just like us (except much richer). They put their pants on one leg at a time. And every now and then they open their big mouths to say things that they soon regret. Or in this case say things that end up in lists just like this one. We didn't have time to write them all down, and we doubt you have the time to read all ten, so we went straight to No.1:

"I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories. Only people who do not know the videogame business would advocate the release of next-generation machines when people are not interested in cutting-edge technologies." - NintendoÂ’s Yamauchi

It's kind of a good thing that Yamauchi is now retired...
