The Man Cave Cinema writes, with the imminent release of next gen consoles, will Nintendo be relevant any more? Will the shear horsepower of the new xbox and PS4 make the WiiU just a mere toy?
Not getting into a fanboy flame war, but I feel sorry for Nintendo for being short sighted with their next gen hardware. Nintendo and their hardware will be irrelevant by next year!
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.
It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.
A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.
People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers
Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.
I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.
The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷♂️
Depends wether or not it gets good 3rd party support and at the moment it doesnt look as tho its gonna have that big a lead in user base by the time the ps4 and new xbox release, can you see lets say EA release BF4 on wii-u? and the fact that games are just gonna look allot better on the new consoles.
its hard to tell with nintendo. This gen they had the weakest hardware, bad 3rd party support, lots of low reviews... and sold the most systems, DAMN!
during the holidays, the wii u will be kicked into total irrelevancy. as the PS4 and 720 "wow" audiences with their innovative graphics, games, features, and online, the wii u will be trailing behind, barely catching up to current gen, and pumping out the same milked franchises we have played a dozen times over.
nintendo messed up. they should have waited a year, beefed up the hardware, and got more third parties on board. I guess they expected the casuals to carry them to victory, but it didnt happen. too bad
Yeah they're still pointing to sales.
80,000 for WiiU
165,000 for Ps3
223,000 for Xbox...
but they don't mention that Wii also sold 80,000, and 3ds is still selling. So Nintendo is still making more money on hardware and software.
Try Again!!
To the media? Probably not. As long as Nintendo can keep profiteering off of software and with hardware as it cheapens with time then I think they will be financially sound. My guess is we will see Nintendo try to appeal to the western market a tad more.
Besides, it looks like Microsoft and Sony are doing something entirely different with their machines, similarly to the previous generation. I guess we'll see how things play out.
