Satoru Iwata Speaks On Keeping Humble
In Newsweek today, reporter N'Gai Croal posted some interesting information from an E3 interview with President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata. One of the more interesting bits is Iwata discussing how everyone anticipates success for the company, he is making an active effort to keep the company from feeling the same way. Thumbs up for the active attempt at avoiding arrogance!
"This time, we were very lucky and very fortunate that people were accepting and positive about the introduction of the Wii Balance Board and the Wii Zapper. Now, what we have to do, what's very important for us is to make sure that when those products are actually launched, we not only meet their expectations, but we surpass them so there's that gap--we thought it was going to be this, when actually it's here. We need to create that buzz. We need to create that word of mouth and that's our challenge."
P.S.: Tiny, You suck.
