Aren't most companies all about the bottom line? Those that aren't usually don't last very long... Gaming companies are still companies after all...

I know...but saying this out loud is kind of funny.

Like a cell phone salesman saying "Our network goes down all the time"...its true for all GPRS cell phone networks but you don't say it out loud.

More like a cell phone salesman saying "A very small percentage of our users aren't completely happy with our service, but we are looking at ways to fix that." Essentially they are saying there is a problem out there for the hardcore gamers that doesn't exist in most of the userbase. So they are now trying to find the best possible solution to please everyone.

The bottom line is, storage space is something that will enhance gaming for all Wii gamers. However since a lot of casuals don't know what they are missing Nintendo has no urgency to solve this problem. He is even stating that a small number of hardcore Wii gamers have this problem...no, everyone with wii has this problem...most just don't realize it yet.

Well I would think with all the VC sales, Nintendo already realizes this has to be addressed. WiiWare just makes this certain.

Yet the percentage thing isn't putting down the hardcore gamers with a Wii. He's basically saying that, say, 5% of Wii owners account for 95% of the downloads (percentages hypothetical of course). That's still a lot of money to be had.
