Kombo writes: In an interview with Gamasutra, after expressing optimism in the Wii and third-party developers' ability to achieve success in the face of Nintendo's own offerings on the console, Okamoto made a few unsettling comments.

"...actually, and again, and this is those whispering voices saying this, but you've started hearing the phrase 'Atari crash' pretty frequently," Okamoto said. "People are talking about how the second 'Atari crash' is around the corner. And Nintendo is the one that has to figure out a way to stop it."
