Nintendo expects to lose about 838 million dollars for its fiscal year. 3DS might help the company going forward.
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 🤷♂️
"Users are increasingly turning to playing on devices from Apple, whose
App Store offers more than 100,000 game and entertainment titles for the
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch."
Is that why on average people spend 3 minutes per game on mobile devices? Is that why less than 60 percent of IOS users game full time on them?
Is that why the 3ds sold more than the wii,ps3,360,ds,psp ( almost combined) in 2011 in less than 9 months?
Please enlighten me
" and a consumer
preference for gaming on the iPhone and iPad that helped Apple more than
double profit in the quarter."
Is this why the 3ds was the highest selling system worldwide this year and did it in 9 months?
Is that why really? People want to play on garbage mobile devices?
And way to not even know your sources. The 3ds is over 15+ million now the year ending. Thats what they said. It isnt 11
its natural transition between two generations.
it starts slow with major loss then it booms after two-three years then it slowly dies.
It sells because it's cheap for what it is. They're losing money for every 3DS sold and the software is still pretty dire nearly a year in. I'm on the fence on Whether to sell it or not, I'm sure something worthwhile is gonna come out and I'll have to buy it back. Nothing as of yet though besides half length lack of content bite size games. Previous mario 64 ds and mario kart ds had way more content and seemed more like full games At least they're selling them though.
it has nothing to do with handheld business considering it was the only thing that increased for them this year. Why is everyone ignoring the Yen exchange?
The casual market was the primary reason for the success of the DS in the first place. Thus, Nintendo is hardest hit by the casual moving over to play Sudoku and Brain Twister on their iPhone.
This situation has never been surprising to anyone who actually understands the gaming industry, and the market forces that drive it.
