Miyamoto Holding WiimoteWhatever your thoughts on Wii, Business 2.0 seems to think its innovator is one of the 50 most influencial persons in business right now. Not Iwata, not Reggie, but the man we sometimes call, Shigditty, or just Shiggy. From the article:

  1. Shigditty!? *lol* Nah Blake, it should be the Shigsizzle. 😛

    Either way I love this man. Lord knows what affect it'll have on Nintendo when he decides to retire or God forbid he's run over by a car.

  2. What do you mean by "low-tech is the new hi-tech"?? The Wii remote is highly advanced!! In case that's what you were refering to.
