Satoru Iwata - Sony Responds To Iwata's Death

Thinking about Sony's rivalry with Nintendo… This is like an old warrior kneeling over the grave of his oldest rival. A tear rolling down their cheek as they remember fondly the clashes of old, their youth spent trying to outdo each other, always keeping each other on their toes. Now in the twilight years those memories sting more than any defeat they suffered at the other hands. A sad farewell.

Tis better to lose to a friend, than to lose a friend.

Major Nelson from Microsoft has also Tweeted about Iwata's death. Glad to see a lot of respect going around today from all sides of the industry.
