Just out of curiosity, where do people get this notion that Nomura has this power to stop it due to personal feelings?

If my boss told me to do something I don't want to do (but is within the scope of my job to do), I would do it. Because I like having a paycheck, paying bills, not living on the streets, and eating. I can't imagine a professional game developer would be such a console fanboy as to say no, and get fired.

Yea I dont think Wada is stupid enough to fire Nomura.  I mean come on its obvious.  Without Nomura, SE will never be the same.

Tell that to Activision. The guys they fired made WAAAAAAAY more money for them than Nomura is likely to make for SE in his career. And yet, they no longer work for Activision.

Develpers, unfortunately, are replaceble. It's the brand thats worth something. I doubt he'd get fired too, but when an employee disobeys the CEO, there is usually consequences.

I'm not arguing about whether this will happen or not (this whole thing is hypothetical), but that I just can't see how one employee has the whole company by the balls based on his fanboy orientation (if he has any). If SE and Wada want vsXIII on the 360, it will happen, whether Nomura likes it or not.

Ok yea that is true.  But think about this.  Do you think Activision will be just as successful after firing those guys?  They may be replaceable, but the money they made for Activision certainly isn't.  Only time will tell if Activision will be as successful without those guys.
