Harrison confirms he'll leave Nintendo at end of year

Nintendo's North American vice president of marketing George Harrison has confirmed he will be leaving the company at the end of the year.

Following Nintendo's decision to move the US sales and marketing departments from Washington to New York and San Francisco, rumours circulated that senior execs would not be making the transition.

At the time, Nintendo dismissed the chatter as speculation, but Harrison has now clarified that he won't be following his team to the West Coast.

"I have confirmed to all employees that I will be leaving at the end of December and not making the move to California," said Harrison to Reuters.
