Those were the days of the Yamauchi regime, trust me he may have given the go ahead for Nintendo to enter gaming but he was a real dictator of the industry, failure in eastern companies it seems is a black mark against you and they'd rather press the issue then see if you can redeem yourself, just look at Sakaguchi with Spirits With In, Kuturagi with the PS3 launch and ironically enough Yamauchi himself for reference. No matter who you are you'll answer for big mistakes only Yamauchi is lucky he owns the company that gave him the boot as their president.
