The problem at least with the Wii is that ninty makes a lot of money on every unit sold, and most people buy it just for the pack-in game, and maybe one more. Now that the market its saturated ninty makes no money since apparently nobody gets tired of playing wiisports all day.
Eh, more like it winds up collecting dust after most people spend a week with it. Though to be fair, the past year has been pretty damn good for Wii gaming.
The wii to me is like a cool toy you buy and use a bit but that's about it. The first party games are awesome, but why else use it?
I dunno. I'm excited to be a Wii owner right now. But I also experienced a long drought where I was genuinely disinterested in much out there. Now, I have an incredible backlog of games to tend to. I'm lovin it
Haha, this. I love how it manages to get spun into doom and gloom, like selling ~40 million units in a year (combined) is a bad thing.
The strong yen accounts for 84 billion yen of their losses, which is over 1 billion dollars... so all they have to do is find some way to get the Japanese government to deflated the strength of the yen and every thing will be better.... But again they still have 1.76 Trillion yen in assets...That is 214.3 billion dollars or 4.202 quadrillion Vietnamese dong.That is more then the GDP or Nigeria, Ireland and Israel or Chile. One doesn't think Nintendo will be worried just yet. Also their sales for this quarter is higher then it was back in 2006...
