Word is that Nintendo's SVP of Marketing and Corporate Communcations is calling it a career.

 GameDaily.biz is reporting that it has heard from an industry source at a major publisher that George Harrison, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications, has made it known via a voicemail message that he soon be announcing his "early retirement."  Harrison has been with Nintendo since 1992.    


It was not clear whether or not Harrison would be simply retiring from Nintendo or retiring for good, but it is known he will at least help Nintendo transition its sales and marketing teams to their new locations in the San Francisco and New York areas.    


Nintendo of America has not yet officially confirmed the departure of Harrison, or any of the NOA executive team, which which will likely be because of the move of sales and marketing out of the Seattle areas.
