Here's a comment from one stockholder...
"I'm concerned about the falling stock price. I own stock, but I don't own a single Nintendo product. I believe games are a waste of time. By the way, the reason I own Nintendo stock is because the name is nice, it's in Kyoto and it was listed in the year of my birth."
Here's how Iwata responded...
"There are people in this world who don't feel that games are a waste of time, so Nintendo continues to exist. We'd like to eliminate the thinking that playing games by yourself is negative, or when there's a crime you immediately tie it into games. We'd like to raise the social importance of games. We're working to expand the gaming population, yourself included."
The same stockholder responded with the following...
"During the Tohoku earthquake disaster, I believe people in the evacuation centers were lacking in exercise. Why didn't you bring Wii Fit to them? Why didn't you show off to the media that you're doing more for the victims?"
Iwata said that some people may have liked to use Wii Fit, but others were grieving over their family losses. It wouldn't have been an appropriate time to barge in with Wii Fit for everyone. Iwata stated that Nintendo did ask to help out, but they didn't want to draw attention to themselves or get media for their work. They wanted things to stay quiet and help simply for the sake of help.
