Iwata - Image 1Barron's Online has released their third list for "The World's Best CEOs", and look who made his debut in the list for 2007. It's none other than Nintendo's Satoru Iwata.

Iwata got in the exclusive top 30 list, thanks to the innovative Wii. He is but one of the ten overseas CEOs in the list, sharing the spotlight with three new other foreign newbies. It is actually not surprising to find Iwata recognized for his stint as Nintendo's CEO. The company did see, after all, a vast increase in its stocks, and the success of its next-gen console undoubtedly contributed a lot to that spike in revenues.

Steven Jobs also is in the list, apparently as a "Returnee". Barron's describes Jobs as "the ultimate CEO who matters", and deemed that his company, Apple, runs ahead Microsoft by miles in terms of innovations.

» What about the REAL people?

I have nothing against Nintendo's CEO, but when Steve Jobbs makes the list and Sony's CEO does not get there, i know there is something up. Its common sence, Sony comes with the 1st ever blu-ray player, the bravia is amazing (i got one) and the PS3 has no default. So by all reason, maybe not the CEO of Sony Playstation, but Phil Harrison is the most amazing spokesperson to date, he deserves credit and awards!
