Miyamoto and Iwata top 'Persons of the Year' list

Sure, we know how amazingly awesome these two dudes are, but unless you're as obsessed with Nintendo as we are, there's a possibility you don't know who they are. Well, if we could sum these two up in a brief statement, it would be this: they're bad enough to save the president. Also, they make some products we enjoy on a regular basis.

We're not the least bit surprised the Nintendo duo of Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata topped GameDaily BIZ's "Persons of the Year 2008" list. They've managed to make a ridiculous amount of money on gaming during a very uncertain economic time, as well as expand the market and bring more players into gaming.

Will President Ronnie take them out for burgers afterward?

Of course they should be there, with the wii, videogames sell better and become more mainstream, and that means prices are going down, and I can buy my games cheaper.

Aside from what I said above, they should be there every year, they make the gaming world better.

And the gamecube rocked, it doesn't matter if it sold poorly, it had lot of must-buy games, specially rpgs, they were few, but they were the best I played in a while.
