Even *within* Sony there are mavericks who make the top leadership
uncomfortable. The CEO of the Nintendo division (sorry, I forgot his name)
does pretty much wants he wants without consulting the top people at Sony.
It's interesting that he's getting away with it, but that's no doubt
because he's producing a large percentage of Sony's total profits. Even
better than being a maverick is being a profit-machine maverick!
