Controversial US analyst Michael Pachter has reiterated his assertion that Nintendo “is in disarray”.
He initially made the claim during a speech at the Ayzenberg A-List Summit 2012. Following the predictable outrage on games forum Neogaf Pachter chimed in to defend his remarks.
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 🤷♂️
just his neogaf comments. Nothing to get crazy over
And he remains an idiot.
Even though Patcher's analysis arw supported by trends, facts and statistics, he fails to consider other factors that constitute the entirety of the industry itself which are different to other industries. The video game industry has a niche market in it, always was and always will. Nintendo has a unique appeal to it wherein its games and gameplay set it apart from its competitors.
I understand his point that he needs to be precaution when he speaks because investors are looking at him for advise. But Nintendo has proven to be very strong as a company throughout troubling times and changing trends for the past decades. Patcher may be right but I am highly skeptical.
Michael Pachter has been around the gaming industry long enough to accurately depict any future trends of the industry. Dark Sniper definitely agrees with his statement about Nintendo being in disarray because they are.
Nintendo made the mistake of not making the Wii future proof for long term security. Now it seems as if they are hitting the reset button and finally giving gamers something that the other consoles have had since the mid 2000's, which is high definition gaming. Nintendo has also lost faith in many third party developers as their games always fail to sell on their platform. Leaving only Nintendo to cash in on their instiable greed by making their first party titles the only ones of any relevance.
The difference in power is minute. PlayStation®3 can and will outperform the Wii-U when it comes to pound for pound specs and features. Already sporting next genration graphics, Dark Sniper expects PS3 to beat Nintendo in their own gimmick as the PlayStation® Vita does exactly what the Wii-U controllers does and more.
Dark Sniper gives full credit to Michael Pachter for his incredible foresight into our industry. The Wii-U will be in trouble from launh because of Nintendo's lack of interaction from gamers. The name of the console itself sounds like a university college more than it does as a gaming console.

All it takes is a google search to see which company actually is, "in disarray."
