Jeff from Volatile Mode explains the dramatic increase in sales post price drop for Nintendo's handheld and explains why the slump in sales can be attributed to many other factors.
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 🤷♂️
The only problem I have with this "mobile gaming is hurting platforms" argument is that it assumes that mobile gaming draws market share away from portie consoles. I'm sure to some extent that's true but I think that draw is greatly exaggerated. The biggest impact that mobile gaming has had is on bringing NEW markets to gaming. Very few gamers that I know buy iOS games. Why? iOS games pretty much suck after the first 30 minutes. They lack the depth of portie console games. Hardcore gamers are more than willing to pay more for something that they can get 40 hours of enjoyment out of that has good controls than an iOS game that they'll get a few hours enjoyment out of with crappy awkward controls. The low price is deceiving and has tricked people. A one dollar game with very little replayability that lasts a few hours is not as good of a value to me as a game that I can get dozens of hours out of with better production values and that are generally less bug-y.
Anyway, a NEW market and SHIFTED market SHARE are two different things and the entire "iOS doomed handhelds" argument has assumed more of the latter than actually exists.
