Looks like Sony is overpaying for their CEO....

Is he really overpaid if Sony earned $80B in revenue over the past year versus Nintendo with $5.6B?

lol...

And one ALWAYS made a proifit, the other hasn't for 2 years.

Revenue is vanity... Profit is reality.

Arcturus was just making a point about the size of the companies in relation to the salary of their CEO's. Obviously profit is what's important but it's irrelevant in terms of the job at hand for the two men.

9.2 mil for CEO of Sony ain't so bad when compared to a lot of other companies, who have done far worse in the past 2 yrs.

also, on topic, Iwata's salary shows the type of loyality their is within the company, especially taking into account the higher cost of living over there.
