Whenever I read something Reggie said, magical things happen in my pants.

I have a feeling no interviewer can leave a conversation with him with their ass being kicked.

There's an understood "bitch" at the end of every sentence Reggie says.

"I'd much rather have the consumer buy a Wii, some accessories, and a ton of games, vs. buying any of my competitor's products, bitch."

I like that. Especially when he said they were his competitor's, not just Nintendo's. This times it's personal.

Reggie really does fill the gap that most of Nintendo's public speakers leave (e.g., Iwata, Kaplan, Miyamoto). While most of them represent Nintendo with humility by separating themselves from the competition and calling competitor's actions "flattering", Reggie just steps in and states Nintendo's true intentions/desires as a company. It is safe to assume that he was the first Nintendo representative to say something like "kicking ass" to the public and I think in-your-face statements like that grab the attention of people who think Nintendo is just this Japanese company making games that cater to little kids.

That's the spirit, Reggie! None of this namby-pamby "second console" crap.

Q: Your background is in marketing. Without divulging competitive secrets, can you characterize your marketing plan?

A: It's going to be massive amounts of hands-on activity, as well as showcasing exactly how Wii games are different. We're going to create advocacy. We're going to make it so that everyone who tries the Wii experience talks to their friends and neighbors. It's going to be a really provocative sight to be seeing teens and 20-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds talking about how different this experience is.

I am interested in his ideas and wish to subscribe to his newsletter.

If only he had one. He should have an NP column or something. He's fun. I even read his words to his voice in my head.

Every time Reggie talks, it's like he gives MS and Sony a huge mushroom stamp right across the jaw. It's great.

At the next big speech Reggie is going to give, he's going to walk out wearing nothing but a Wiimote.

And since he's Reggie, really they'll have to chain about 67 of them together.

And even then, your face will melt from his magnificence.

I think people should buy as many consoles as they can afford, so they can be sure play any game that catches their eye. So, obviously, buying a 360 and a Wii is better than just buying a PS3, but I can really only afford a Wii at this point, anyway.
