For those unaware (I wasn't), the story is a hoax.

http://www.digitmag.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=4653

That being said, it's still a hilarious story.

That is such a bummer. I was really hoping it was for real.

On the bright side, at least MS didn't buy out Nintendo.

Even though it is a hoax, I'd like to think that Yamaushi would say something like that to Ballmer. I can imagine that their description of the smugness with which he entered was fairly accurate.
