I've certainly heard Brigstock claim that he thought it up.
http://www.strangeattractor.ca/quotes.html says;
 'The above quote is commonly attributed to "Kristian Wilson, CEO of
 Nintendo, 1989," but the CEO of Nintendo from 1950 to the present day
 is Hiroshi Yamauchi. In some of the earlier postings on Usenet, the
 quote is attributed to "Dan Jenkins Server Support BCWA HealthCare",
 and a stand-up comedian named Marcus Brigstock, but the very first time
 it appears on Usenet, on Dec. 12, 2000, it is unattributed.'

Brigstock's claim is at http://www.marcusbrigstocke.com/pacman.asp.

I've been tempted to reattribute the sig a few times, but I can't being
myself to care enough to be bothered. :)
