Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Q2 Earnings October 30th - Results Inside

marioboy2004 on 24 October 2013

The wii left a bad taste in hard-core gamers mouth and casuals have long sold their Wiis or are content without upgrading. Also the PS3 and's box 360 are fulfilling the needs of a lot of gamers. The Wii U is stuck between a rock and a hard place and needs amazing games to bail it out. N it also needs to distinguish itself some PS3 and Xbox 360 either graphic wise or gameplay wise or else gamers will not upgrade to it

Thanks Captain Obvious, I don't know what I would do with all the extra time I'd had without your posts :P

Nintendo will miss their forecasts... because they nearly always do. Japanese companies in general are usually too optimistic with forecasts. Its a well known trend.


I wonder if their investors take their forecasts seriously? I'd be insulted personally.

This just in, The US government is asking Nintendo for design blueprints of the 3DS so they also can print money at that rate and save the sluggish US economy.


Ha! Dont want to sound rude, but if you knew your economics you would know that would not help on the long term. They can already do that you know. All it does is devalue the dollar more.

 

 

 

No worries, it was a slight of hand against keynesian economics that the current administration believes in. I am glad someone at least got the joke behind the joke.

Depends when you bought them.  If you are already sat on losses then I wouldnt.  if you have any profit, then I'd take it and run for the hills.

This is terrible advice. When you purchased has absolutely zero impact on what the shares are going to do in the future.

Wii U shipments will be atrocious. I honestly don't see the system selling more than 20-25m units lifetime at this point. 3DS on the other hand should be doing well with Japan finally on track and the US and EU seeing solid sales now.

What interests me more than lifetime Wii U sales is this: Will Nintendo announce a "third pillar" system before the normal Wii U life cycle is over? Where is the point of no return for a Nintendo console - the point where software can't profit due to a low hardware base? Hardware sales are lower than during the GC era but dev costs are higher.
