Some of my favorites.
Iwata Doesn't Want Online Games: "Customers do not want online games."
Yamauchi on Microsoft: "There are many people in the industry that know nothing about games. In particular, a large American company is trying to do engulf software houses with money, but I don't believe that will go well. It looks like they'll sell their game system next year, but we'll see the answer to that the following year."

Yamauchi's RPG Hate: "[People who play RPGs are] depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games,"
Yamauchi Knows Gamers: "I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories. Only people who do not know the videogame business would advocate the release of next-generation machines when people are not interested in cutting-edge technologies."
Peter Moore and the RROD: You know things break.
