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.

As ShadowSnake mentioned, I was merely pointing out that the two companies are quite different in size and therefore you can't directly compare compension levels as easily as they were.

Ok...

Which is why I then posted the article which compared him with the CEO's of  similar companies...

Except they're not that similar at all...

You're comparing Nintendo who does Video Game Hardware/Software and merchandise related to them; ONE GENERAL MARKET.

vs.

Sony who does all of the above Music, Film, Consumer Electronics, PCs/Laptops, Computer Software, Phones, Financial/Banking Services, IT services, and Industrial Components such as semiconductors.

Comparing the salaries of a singular market leader vs a conglomerate is silly.  Unless you believe Stringer is as involved in the gaming segment as Iwata is.  Which is laughable.
