Hmmm if this lame excuse is the truth, then I guess there'll be no VoIP, since it requires pretty darned fast broadband to be effective.

He's now overseeing all of the operations of the Nintendo America organization.  He'll be doing less on the defining marketing and sales promotions on an individual basis and he'll be doing more strategic thinking like for after the current generation and beyond.

That's my guess
