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, in the US he probably would be. 

Besides annual salary is probably just a bonus for most board members, the really money is likely in their stock options. 


You do realise Iwata was the one that got Nintendo to that highly valuable position in 2008... He did the unthinkable and turned the company around to be highly profitable.
