There is something to be said for contracting 3rd parties to work on 1st party projects, but the disparity of EAD titles is somewhat worrisome.
They should at least expand EAD with this kinda cash, or at least buy out Sakurai's group (which has proven compatibility)

Now looking at Ninetendo's latest financial report they are also sitting on uncommitted CASH Reserves of $18 Billion US and that amount has undoubtedly increased substantially since then. |
Are you sure ? I remember something like 10-11 billion ...

Batman...WTF? said:
Yep. No one knows what the hell happened, but now it makes games. |
That business failed like many others Yamauchi's attempts to make money.
Before entering the videogame business, he risked to lose the family factory.
Now Yamauchi is the richest man in Japan.

Well id suggest its alot more than Shiggy. They got Iwata and it was his balls on the line when they went with DS and Wii. Shigeru might have come up with the idea but Iwata said "go team". You notice he's the guy thats been talkin about bathroom scales, be thankfull theres visionary executives working in japan still.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The secret to success is to have the gift of the visionary and yet be firmly anchored in reality and practicality. It is difficult to find both qualities in one person, so it is sometimes best to have a team.
Conquering Roman would parade in triumph through the streets of Roman. Standing behind them on the chariot would be a slave whose role it was to whisper in his ear "Remember that you are mortal, all power is ephemeral."
I almost picture Miyamoto leading Nintendo with his vision of new game, new controls, new populations of gamers, while Iwata stands at his shoulder to support him; and to whisper in his ear, "Keep it simple, keep it practical, keep it affordable and make it reliable."
Which is undoubtably why they were joint recipients of the GameDaily Persons of the Year Award on December 23. GameDaily specifically decided that it was the partnership that had made the success, not either individual alone.
Perhaps the real tragedy at Sony was they had a first class genius in Ken Kutaragi but they forgot to have someone to whisper in his ear and remind him to keep it practical and affordable.
