The 10th Rider- as you said it "stinks for gamers"- Nintendo s business IS gamers. So that statement alone mLes you and others with the same perception "qualified" to discuss Iwata s decision.
I doubt too many stockholders and analyst are happy with Iwata s decision on a business level as well. IMO, it seems he is holding back some sales ammo till their next fiscal year after March 2015- They probably feel they have enough ammo to hit their sales a...
Is there a good list of "publications" to avoid and or be wary of.
Kotaku I avoid them same with Gawker- The Verge too
I don t want to inadvertently click on an article by some of these publications - since I use agragators like N4g sometimes I have not seem enough of some of these publications r know they are shams and or post mostly shallow drivel like this article
Where do these people come up with this stuff? It s comical, like the Beverly Hillbilly s of journalism.
The problem is, 3rd parties as it relates to multi plats, are not working with Nintendo- Nintendo has not some anything so far to change that- it is their job to make their consoles viable for 3rd parties or they will continue to stay away
If Nintendo is not going to make an effort to get 3rd party support for the Wii u with then software droughts it s had, what makes anyone think they will try to get it on their next console
I think they are planning to b...
For all the people disagreeing with The Fact that Nintendo s financial reporting numbers of 7.29 million are shipped not sold- this is public info reported by Nintendo- the different console makers do not pick and choose how they calculate their sales numbers for reporting purposes. They all 3 report them the same way which is shipped because they are "selling" to the retailers
All 3 report shipped numbers ( what we call shipped) bit to them they are sales into the distri...
MSBAUSTX:
Nintendo is not making a profit from its games division. Just yet- their profit was from interest income and favorable exchange rates - check their quarterly reporting - it is public info
They may (prob will IMO) make an operating profit this quarter w big holiday sales but they are not yet and it wil remain to be seen if they can make a profit for their fiscal year as a whole- This year they are selling Wii U s below their manufacturing cost d...
I enjoy your blogs - they are always well written/thought out and much higher quality than 95%+ of what is typically done in the gaming media
IMO, one of several reasons the gamer media has jumped on the "everything to do w a woman in gaming is mysoganistic" and " we are good SJW s gamergate is bad" to try and attract some mainstream credibility - one way to try is pick a main stream topic, create good guy and bad guy, then "boost the signal"...
7.3 million from Nintendos 2 nd Q results is shipped
The Wii u won t end up in 2nd - it won t be more than a few months - possibly even this year before. XB1 passes it in hardware sales and soon enough software sales
Re the article - Virtually all of their profit was interest income and favorable exchange rates- I m not knocking that- just pointing out it was not from their operating games business (ie Wii U and 3Ds, etc)
I own own Wii, W...
Wii u software sales have been abysmal. - no you can t forget the year head start they had - because next year both Sony and MSFT will sell more software in their 2 nd yeR than 1st just as the Wii u has yetSony has already blown by the Wii u in software and widening the gap tremendously every week- and Mst is quickly catching up ( and may by year end) despite being on the market a year less AND few systems sold.
The Wii u has certain games like MK8 w very high attach rate...
Oh-Kay.....
How are we feeling today? It will be ok.
This Stephen guy is full of it- he is one slimy guy and a big problem for the gaming industry and anything proclaiming to be journalism
I don t believe a word he says where self interest is involved
Wii u sales say otherwise- it is still selling at a historical,low rate below GameCube
What can you point to in this article that suggest they are "strongly considering" region unlocking?
If anything the implication is it is not a priority now- otherwise they would be considering now, not "in the future" which is an eternity
Because the shareholders that wanted to fire Iwata already sold their Nintendo stock- it has been trading pretty close to its 52 week lows and it is way way off from its all time highs it reached during the Wii days-
So no Iwata is not very popular as a CEO among the investment communitty- not now and not for several years
Higher prices benefit the seller, lower prices benefit the customer
Less choice benefits the Seller, more choice benefits the customer
I could go on and on -
BUT- if it gets too extreme then, yes both side can get hurt - if Nintendo gave away its products for free it would be a short term benefit to the customer, but a long term detriment as Nintendo would no longer exist after a short time - same w the opposite- if Nintendo sold it...
Nothing Iwata said implies they are "strongly considering" region unlocking
If anything it was a blow off answer - His answer could more easily be interpreted to say " we may one day but it is not a priority now "
Basically a non answer answer
I would read nothing Into these comments other than it is not a high priority for them at this time
Someone slept with her?
Why?
Looks like shovelware and acts broken
Even of she rcvd threats of any kind, how would she know of the perpetrators have anything to do w Gamergate? If she knew that much detail about who they are then why hasn't t she pressed charges
Will they disclose which characters will be limited or will they keep that secret so people feel they will have to buy as many as they can so they don t miss out on the limited editions?
