Wii U: "Nintendo will do just fine"

After reports that the Wii U might be less powerful than the current generation of consoles, and that its retail price might be $300 or more, GamesIndustry International decided to check in with analysts to see if this information has affected their outlook on the Wii U. One analyst, David Gibson of Macquarie Capital Securities, downgraded Nintendo's stock based on those reports and others. What do other analysts think?

yea of course they will, always have always will strangely. they are nintendo

Ares84HU5193d ago

Not always. Have you heard about the Gamecube??

Crap_Turtle5193d ago

@ares

you mean the same gamecube that almost made as much profit as the ps2? Yeah thats successful............

It never saw a dime of debt

Boody-Bandit5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Rip, not always.
Remember the Virtual Boy?

I do. I remember trying it out at a gaming store a friend of mine owned. That thing gave me such a headache. I believe it was only on the market for one year. So I think it's safe to say that particular device from Nintendo didn't do just fine.

StanSmith5193d ago

@ares84HU

Yes, even the Gamecube still made money for Nintendo. Just because it didn't sell as well as Xbox or PS3 doesn't mean it failed.

sikbeta5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Why you guys care so much about Nintendo profits!? who gives a crap about that, they should have fought for Marketshare instead of let the GC die, GC was great, it deserved more sales

Sony, MS, Nintendo can lose 1m or 10b for all I care, as long as they put great HW and SW in their consoles, I'll support them

RIPSKATEDESTROY5192d ago

true, but Nintendo is still here, pumping out games and consoles, that was my point.

dcbronco5192d ago

Poor Sikbeta,

Companies wish they could think like you. But reality kicks them in the nads and they realize they need to actually profit on the stuff they make. THQ just got kicked. Sony is getting kicked. Sega got kicked after the Dreamcast. Great games and profits need to go hand in hand. Unless a company can print it's own money. If not, you better be making a profit. Because without one, you won't be making great games for long.

mike1up5193d ago

It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo outlived everyone on this site.

PopRocks3595193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

They're older than most of our great grandfolks, so...

mamotte5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Those weren't reports. Those were RUMORS.

People with names that work for companies say is powerful.

morkendo235192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

I dont care how POWERFUL or WEAK IT IS long as it has GAMES!!... and long as it dont only have FPS,MMO'S,3RD PERSON SHOOTER,MULTIPLAYER games im a happy camper.
i would trade in my ps3 to get away from ALL that crap.
I hope the wii-U have variety i mean SNES days of (Platformers,RPG,SIDESCROLLING ) games. not STUCK in FPS mode only.
thank GOD for the wii-U VARIETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

PRIMORDUS93d ago (Edited 93d 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.

0hMyGandhi119d 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.

AuraAbjure118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer120d 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.

-Foxtrot119d 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_Box119d ago (Edited 119d 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

Inverno119d ago

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

Eonjay119d 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.

Inverno118d 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.

Killer2020UK118d 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 🤷‍♂️
