That's not a high enough price to pay. I would have prefered it, if he kept his money and announced New Super Mario Bros. 3DS along with some other true Nintendo games instead, as a sign of capitulation. Plus, Wii U being entirely reconsidered.

Spot on.  I hate the pomposity of the "noble gesture" bullshit.  Just sort it out, thats your job and thats what you get paid for. 

Also it isnt exactly a hardship to take a 50% when you are earning so much is it?  The very fact that he can can offer to take a 50% pay cut means that it doesnt affect him at all.... If you are a worker then taking a 50% paycut is impossible. 

Empty gesture and actually a sign of weakness to the markets.

Yup. He should just run the company into the ground while taking bonuses and then run away with a hefty severance package.
