On a related note: Yamauchi was 55 when the NES was released and he retired some time after the Gamecube at 74.
Steve died at 56, makes one wonder what else he could've given us.
Especially if he hadn't ignored his doctors with homeopathy! Every time I think about it, I wonder how anyone could fall victim to such things. Imagine Steve Jobs being thrown into prison for 20 years. Homeopathy was just as horrific, because it gave him an excuse to ignore his doctors and allow the cancer to fester.
