Bill Gates Still Interested In Nintendo

In an interview with German financial magazine WirtschaftsWoche Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has admitted that he is still interested in buying Nintendo and that “if Hiroshi Yamauchi phones me, I will pick up at once." His comments appear to be entirely wishful thinking though, since Yamauchi – the largest shareholder in the company, but no longer president – was the primary obstacle to Microsoft’s attempts to acquire the company before the launch of the Xbox and still has a strong influence on the Japanese company he originally moved into the video games business.
