Nintendo needs some magic to spur growth

Nintendo faces a tough battle to boost growth as rivals snatch the lead in motion-controlled gaming from the long-time world-beater, just as competition from smartphones and tablets batters the handheld market.

Microsoft and Sony are enticing casual and core gamers with a new generation of console accessories, while Apple's iPad is flying off the shelves.

Nintendo isn't that concerned. 3ds will make everything all better.

archemides5185682d ago

this is true, the DS sells way more than the wii, they probably wouldn't mind to drop the wii altogether and focus on 3DS...wii and wii hd will still bring in some tho

eagle215682d ago

If you look at the sources for all these LIES about Nintendo, it tells truth. CNET was one of them...MSNBC....get it? Fu$$ Microshi#. Fu$$ em!!!

ChickeyCantor5682d ago

I don't know who killed your family but, on what kind of a rampage are you on?

Chuk55682d ago

You sound incredibly butthurt eagle. Aggressive when no one opposed you? You should really get those splinters out of your anus, they can get infected.

eagle215682d ago (Edited 5682d ago )

I don't care about what you have to say. You will be butthurt when Nintendo kills Microsoft this month in sales as usual. :)

turok5682d ago

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

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.

PRIMORDUS89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

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.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi114d ago

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.

AuraAbjure114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer115d ago

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.

-Foxtrot115d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box114d ago (Edited 114d ago )

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

Inverno115d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay115d ago

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.

Inverno113d ago

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.

Killer2020UK114d ago

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 🤷‍♂️
