Iwata and Miyamoto top GameDaily 'Persons of the Year' list

Are these guys "persons of the year" like Stalin was in 1939 or in 1942 or like Hitler was in 1938?


...you know for killing gaming and all?

Ah, so Hitler ans Stalin were both responsible for killing gaming in the 1940's? That explains the lack of consoles back then;).

bobby kotick was second place

are we sure this isn't "persons who fucked gaming over this year"

This was meant as a reply to Leobebbes.

Hitler didn't kill gaming.

Have you any idea how popular WWII shooters are this generation and last generation?

And rightly so.

Its funny, I wouldnt have believed this possible 2-3 years back, but EA has probably done far more for gaming innovation and created more fresh titles than Nintendo in this generation. Skate, Spore, destructible environments in Battlefield, much improved gameplay in FIFA (though still prefer Pro Evo myself), Dead Space, Mirror's edge...and they probably did more to reach to "non-traditional" audiences as they put it with the SIms series.

And when will Sega get any credit for so many years of great, innovative games? They sure dont get any sales, tried Valkyria, what a gabulous game, but no one buys it, no awards, nothing.

Who do I have to kill to get a mario paint 2? WHO?

How much is a bagiggle?

Can I have one?

Miyamoto more for creating the best-selling game of the year, Iwata for giving the Wii the single best-selling year for any console ever, and getting the DS to beat the original Game Boy's lifetime sales in half the time

i remember the pre wii days,when the console was the revolution,and signing the online petitions for hd graphics capacity on it,and the petition to keep the name revolution when 'wii' was introduced.even the sony guys at school who i had to argue with in defense of the gamecube felt sorry for me and didnt tease me about the console being named wii.
its good that they are reaping the fruits of sucess for innovation,but what about all us nintendo defense force spartan mark IV fernando unit hardcore guys? they are sucessful now.great.but i feel like they forgot where they came from.when bioshock was being showed off at e3, G4 interviewed a fan ass to what he thought,and the fan said "its going to be the next metroid prime"
i was oh soo confused to hear that,as the next metroid prime,metroid prime 3 corruption,was nearing its date for launch!!!!! its not like the guy was a noob on gaming,its just that a highly anticipated hardcore title was not being pushed or hyped or anyting by nintendo. what was a couple "wii would like to play" ads going to do against the marketing onslaught of microsoft and halo 3?
suuure complain bout halo 3 was overhyped and "game fuel lmao!!!" but that was microsoft's job and they did it well.if metroid prime 3 recieved only a mere fraction of the marketing that is being done for other titles it would have done even better than it already has.while hardcore titles are being treated cheaply as if they sell themselves nooooooone shall escape from wii music ads.
they are definately persons of the year for gaming.does that gaming include GAMERS? its only by my years of loyal ndf service and the hardcore titles on the wii i would say yes.

Please, Joystiq, stop using that image, it's over 9000 years old.

It was funny back in the day

yeah, you've got all that $$ but you still want to sue fanartists?
you Nintendo.
