Wow this just reminds me why I'm such a loyal Nintendo consumer. The company cares about its games, consoles and consumers more then any other company I know. The leadership takes responsability for its actions and even the great like Miyamoto who could and should be making millions upon millions a year settles for a lower salary similiar to that of his other employees. Nintendo is a very noble company.
Unlike Rol and some other users, I still like the idea of WiiU, I just think the name is a stupid idea. Rol's point of Wii sales still being high and the console still thriving. Software sales have plummited and software is a major part of Nintendo's profit margins. I think Nintendo should discontinue Wii when WiiU launches and sell it as cheap as possible while still maintaining a small profit.
I also think Nintendo could have done far better at launching 3DS if they had a proper ad campaign. Consumers needed to be informed as to what a 3DS was and why they need one. Instead Nintendo spent very little on advertising it and expected it to sell itself. Infact Reggie said Nintendo outsourced marketing, what a stupid idea.
So yah Nintendo execs deserve this pay cut, they did a horrible job launching 3DS. It wasn't the hardware that was the problem it was the execution of the launch!
