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. 

sigh...

go and READ the article I posted... NOT the OP article.

then you can apologise. 

Or you can get off your high horse because your article does nothing to compare the actual JOBS of Stringer vs Iwata or any other CEO involved here.

Sony being a conglomerate requires Stringer analyze and deal with over a dozen markets vs Iwata's one.  By default Stringer has a higher comparative workload and should have a comparatively higher salary to boot.
