PEOPLE:

Satoru Iwata. President of Nintendo from 2002 to 2015.

Genyo Takeda. General Manager of Nintendo R&D3, which created most of Nintendo’s console hardware.

QUOTE: "Iwata: The more positive feedback we got on the DS, the more we asked questions like ‘do we need a home console at all?’ Some of the stuff would have terrified Takeda had he heard them. [laughs]

It’s no good if the only difference is the home console using a big LCD screen, and the portable using a small one. We had many conversations about the raison d’etre of a home console. "
