- Reposted by Richard TroupeYears of covering the business have taught me that “investors” and executives are thick skulled, irrational, impulsive children.

Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.
