Apparently, the February issue of Wired features an interview with former NCL president Hiroshi Yamauchi. There have been rumors that the article is fake, but I guess only time will tell that.
It has some pretty outlandish statements, with several almost lewd comments by him. He made a lot of comments on Sony, saying they lost the Japanese business mentality, and even speaks on Microsoft's bid to take over the company.
I'd give a link, but there's a rule about no magazine scans. So, if you see the article sometime, give it a look. It's a good read.

I read that article; he told some MS reps to "suck his balls", that PSP is the worst video game portable system ever, and that Capcom is the worst developer ever for porting their one big ex-exclusive to the PS2. It was also proven that it was fake  . |

Yeah, I read it a few days ago and I have to admit, it seems kind of fake. For example, most magazines don't print articles in such an odd font... And, from what I've heard, there are a lot of grammar errors.

I really didn't notice any grammatical errors. The only thing that caught my mind was the use of "favourite." Seemed odd when talking to a Japanese man. Anyway, Symphonic, if it's been proven fake... you could link to a source stating such, you know. Anyone can call it fake, but you don't have proof.  |

Well, where I did read the article (Sega's message boards), the poster had stated it was proven fake. He left this link to a blog, which has a link that proves it to be false: middaysoftware.com/MinhsBlogs/articles/223.aspxI hope that helps |

IT IS FAKE
The guy died years ago, and grammer errors are galore. Plus, the creator said it was a joke

It was also proven that it was fake . Um, any former executive of a company as large as Nintendo that talks about sucking balls, is fake. |

It may be fake, but it was one of the funniest articles I have ever read.

It may be fake, but it was one of the funniest articles I have ever read. My thoughts exactly. While it's a fake, it's still a fun read.  |
