“I’m called to Japan for a meeting and I argued with Mr. Iwata because I had lined up activities for my birthday and he was adamant on the days he wanted me in Kyoto. I celebrated my birthday in Kyoto. In the end there were two reasons for this meeting. The first is, that’s when he told me his cancer was back. We all believe he had beaten his cancer, but he wanted to tell me face to face his cancer was back. We talked about that for an hour and then he flipped the switch, now we need to talk about the future. It was in that meeting we did the launch planning for the Switch. The software that would come out, the pricing and how we would launch it.” |
