I couldnt care less if he takes a cut or not.  What I am saying is that it is an empty gesture that means nothing to anyone. 

Then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. The gesture may be meaningless to you but it may mean something to others.

and your point on western ceo's?  what about my view of nintendo?

Western CEO pay is messed up, IMO. I don't think I need to explain further on that. (That's by no mean all CEO are like that)

They get paid huge bonuses while the people below them lose jobs.

 

As for Nintendo, they messed up somewhere along the line. Most likely due to overwhelming success with the DS and before-dead-Wii. They try too hard to please 3rd parties that wanted them dead. They forgot to please their customers. Starting with the 3DS pricecut, I see it as them starting to please both 3rd parties and the customers. The execs taking paycut is just captain going with the ship, to me. Captain go down with the ship if it sinks. I completely agree with you on the technology part. Nintendo is slow to catch on in many areas. (Give me skype. Give me youtube.)
