PEOPLE:

Howard Lincoln, age 53. Senior Vice President & General Counsel at Nintendo of America.

Minoru Arakawa, age 46. Founder & President of Nintendo of America.

QUOTE: "Lincoln: The NES is the one piece of electronic gear that’s in darn near every household, or at least the largest number if households around. It’s kind if what the PCs wanted to be but didn’t get to be.

Arakawa: It seemed that we might as well take advantage of our position in the homes of America [to create the Nintendo Network]."
