Guy with the metal gear ava, I may be wrong but I'm picking up that you spend much too much time reciting words like millions and billions and lost perspective of how many 1 dollar bills and time related that it takes to make such words as billions a possibility.

The magnitude of making 8 million dollars in a year may be flying your head. Especially off just a salary if it is just his salary. Heck 4 million in a year or 1 million is quite a sum.

It's hilarious how Wada from Square-Enix, amongst others, draws a higher salary.  The Industry so deserves to go down in flames...

no it doesn't deserve to go down as i like the games coming out

And I loved the cherries our old cherry tree gave us.  Unfortunately, the thing was literally rotten to the core, so it had to go, for the good of us all.  The new tree gives us more, sweeter cherries, but now without the risk of injury or serious property damage.

True story, by the by.

THEN WHY ARE YOU PURCHASING ROTTEN STUFF

i like rotten GT5,LBP2,SOCOM,KILLZONE,OLD REPUBCLIC,FF14

You'll have to explain yourself.  Because when I say that The Industry's rotten, it doesn't follow that all of its products automatically suck.  See again the cherries from the rotten tree...

I've known of CEOs who took charge, made their salary $1 and really worked for them in times of trouble because it rallied the workers and everyone else behind the cause. Then there are CEOs like Stringer, wow good job. Anyway im glad to see the Nintendo executives not awarding themselves relatively outlandish salaries even though from all accounts Iwata deserves something in the order of $100M!
