The one thing you can be certain of with Nintendo, they'll never jump into bed with someone bigger and more powerful than them.
I know i was confused when they partnered with Opera for the Wii. It was cheap, cheap is what Nintendo do.
Relaunch it with a new brand name and nobody knows it was My Space.
Besides, why the hell wouldn't you want to try and turn around something thats so damn cheap. Didn't Justin Timberlake invest in My Space recently?
Wait, you're saying that a dirt cheap investment in a social network company, that is likely severely undervalued, is a bad decision?
I suppose that makes Rupert Murdoch's lost 1.4 billion on the My Space gamble positively insane.
Actually that was a pretty insane decision.

No, there isn't.
Kid Icarus has done pretty damn well for an IP considered dead, and considered by many, to be a spin off from a character in Smash Brothers!
(this is a joke, i hope)
Not buying Revelations, and buying 400k copies of Raccoon Sh***y?
Well the economists, Pachter, and Angry Birds Dev's are correct, handhelds are dead in America.
And a new colour, Cobalt Blue.
MH3G Bundle sold really well too. Looks like core gamers moved on Kid Icarus and MH.

I think this was a bad decision, and thats despite the fact that survival horror is a slowly dying genre right now.
I think whats happening is customers are failing the videogame industry by not embracing a wider variety of genre.
Congratulations on killing Syndicate btw. Resident Evil is next.
Personally I think games should drop price in accordance with the value customers place on them, not the other way round.
Im not saying they should only sell cheap games, or sell games with micro-payment systems, but i am certainly saying that a 15-20% markup on HD titles this last gen. was too much for many people.
Nobody assumes that one of the reasons the Wii might have done as well as it did was that their games were cheaper.
Can't wait for the VDS
didn't read lol

Wasn't Neogaf the source (of speculation)?
Well that would be a perfectly reasonable argument if say @Multiconsolegamer's comment wasn't accurate.
The thing is there have been more Halo, God of War, Street Fighter and Resident Evil sequels in the last decade, than Mario Platformers. Im talking about on home consoles exclusively of course.
Granted, you could argue that 2D Mario's are the same as 3D Mario's, but i would argue that you're wrong.
Not confirmed, but i believe someone said it could theoretically do "Unreal 3.9".
Here you go.

I want to know what Pachter thinks about MS plan to allegedly not have a disc drive, and completely prevent used game sales?
I want to know why Pachter is taken seriously with his statements on WII U when he doesn't know anything about the final build, price, or anything.
I want to know why, if he thinks if its unfair to comment on the next MS console without more information, why is he spewing bulldust about the WII U?
I want to know why...
Id imagine saying no to MS would be the reason why he's not employed by then anymore.
You know what this means.....Ign was right!
