It's fine that they're taking pay reductions, but really it doesn't help their business. They need to LEAD the company, not do the "please understand" schtick over and over again.

Taking pay reductions doesn't necessarily mean the money just disappears.  It's entirely possible the executives are taking the pay cuts so that the funds can be redirected into other projects in which budgets need to be increased.  We have no idea WHAT the paycut is (just a percentage), nor HOW they're using it.  We just know they're announcing paycuts for themselves.  It could be JUST a paycut, but... Nintendo has been know to be pretty liquid in times of trouble: they somehow turn a profit when no one expects them to.

It's poor management on their part that they've gone through this *twice* now. Pretty soon they're all going to be working for peanuts. Iwata took Nintendo from being the most valuable Japanese company in 2008 to not being able to turn a profit for three straight years in a few years time. 

And we just get the same excuses over and over again and a pay cut every couple of years. He's lucky he hasn't been fired out right. 

With Nintendo's history, I think they've earned some mistakes.  They are, after all, run my humans.  Sure, they made the same mistake twice, but they pulled out of the last one...  To be honest, I think they're just growing faster than they anticipated.  Sometimes, things just go a lot better than you expected and you get totally caught off guard (ex/ Wii was SD 480p because they believed the uptake of HD televisions would not be that fast; instead, the HD television market exploded).  They weren't prepared for the way the Wii sold, and sometimes when things really go your way, you let your guard down.  That doesn't mean Nintendo needs to die, lol... I'm sure they'll be fine.
