Well, this isn't Nintendo's first brush with the Yakuza. For instance, on the ve of the Super Famicom/SNES launch in Japan, the lorrys delivering the SNESs' to the stores had to be unmarked, as Nintendo were told that there was to be a highjack by the Yakuza. Just a little titbit of history there, anyways, perhaps Bill Gates funded this little crime in order to increase X-Box sales in Japan?
