I have read some news that Cammie leaving is due to losing sales, especially vs. Apple? Wtf?

She's mentioned before that her position in the company is extremely stressful because she's almost never home; in all likelihood she's leaving of her own volition to spend more time with her family.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Sales have nothing to do with her, since literally 99.999999999999999% of consumers interested in Nintendo products do not know who she is. It is not like the Tiger Woods games where sales tanked due to the public image of the person on the cover.

Cammie was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, E3 08, or 09 (whichever was the absolutely terrible one). She wasn't even at E3 2010 I don't think, and if she was she didn't do anything wrong. Overall, as long as we have known her,Cammie never did anything wrong except be a woman in the videogame industry.

The fact that she didn't look like a booth babe was a large part in why despicable gamers hated her so much. She wasnt a pretentious jerkoff like Morgan Webb, or a complete asshole like Bobby Kotick, she was just a woman.

It disgusts me how people created this illogical and overblown sentiment that Metroid was sexist when half these fucks couldn't look in the mirror when they bashed this woman at her every appearance for 2 years. I hate hypocrites, and gamers are the one of the worst.

Err? Man, what's in your teaspot? Cammie was VP of SALES and marketing, so how could it be she had nothing to do with sales? Or hadn't she? xD

I think I remember her saying a while ago she was going to leave due to those reasons.

Yeah sure because high level well known execs get fired with huge bang and corporations always say it was due to bad results.

Get real guys - the family reasons are usually sugar coated way of saying that someone received offer that can't be rejected from his employer to leave on good terms before meeting sales target paragraph from their contract is utilised.

If she got fired with big bang it would be lose-lose situation for her and Nintendo.

Dude, she said this back in like 2008, when the Wii was at the fever pitch of its monolithic popularity.

And if she resigned then it would be belivable but 2008 is 2008 and 2010 when Wii reached all time low sales is 2010.

Are you suggesting that they sugar-coated her leaving with a premeditated firing set 24 months before the fact, when the brand she represented was setting the world on fire?

What?

LoL you are rediculus in your nintendo defence.

It's not that unusual for people with such position or politicians to say that their family life is suffering but just because they said something like that somewhere it doesn't mean it's still valid 2 years later.

Seriously if you don't see coincidence in date of her leaving and 2010 result then you don't know at all how corporations work on inside.
