Nintendo would never buy Sony shares, but the thought alone must fill people with horror.

Ironically while both MS and S compete Nintendo is ignored and look what happens.

This is why one of my favorite things to happen in 08 was MS casual / family console marketing switch. They know whats going to win them the market share and it isn't what PS3 is aiming for.

In terms of market share im surprised Mitsubishi bank and a car company are still more valuable. I guess when the big US car companies fall apart everyone else does better. Same for the banks too.

 

ha the reason that car companies are going broke in america is because they are stupid. They set up some retirement plan thing back some time ago that is F*ing them big time right now. LIke if you are with the company for a certain length or whatever when you retire you get paid still 90% of what you would be getting paid if you still worked there.

 

THey are going broke becuase of that. My Dad's uncle worked for a one of the companies GMC, or FOrd or whatever it was and he is making more money now per month than he ever did when he was working. He has been retired for like 20 years. I mean once you reach that point, why would you want to keep working if you still make 90% of your salary. And goes up with economy inflation and stuff too. And now the car companies want the government to bail them out and pay for it all.

 

THAT is why american companies a lot of them go down the shitter and other countries are doing fine.

 

That is the stupidist conservative argument ive ever heard. You know usual check list, blame unions, blame employees, blame everyone else, except the executives who continued to make trucks / suv's even though no one can afford the petrol that goes in them or the cars themselves.

Japan has much better employee protection and healthcare, but they seem to be doing alot better. Your republican uncle was lied to, though i cant understand why he would still be listening the party that pretty much ruined any financial stability the US gov. had 8 yrs ago.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
