Imagine if Miyamoto was whining that Hudson was using some of the assets of Super Mario 64 to make Mario Party. Yamaguchi would have figuratively smacked him down, and if Iwata were in charge then, he wouldn't have stood for it either, mainly because Nintendo has been using shared assets as a great way to keep budgets down (why Link's Crossbow Training costs just $20 with the Zapper).
Too bad Sega couldn't learn from that.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
