Hey, maybe we should have Outcast explain this all to the NPD group. Once they understand that the Wii & the HD systems aren't really competing (Nintendo said so!!!), they'll stop listing the figures together.

That way, follks like the OP can stop having this monthly crisis.

actually if you look at some stock analysis professionals think that the wii is taking market share away from computer-based gaming companies. Because they really have no idea why the stocks are going down. A lot of these professionals are really just professional at the method they use and not really that well informed about the subject they are applying their background to.

For example stock for nintendo had a low of 35 and a high of 70. the 35 was right before christmas season, and now its at 45. These people do not know what the fuck the are doing, so stop focusing on what the analysts and traders are doing.
They don't know shit, gaming is such a niche subject that nobody has really stopped to pay attention to the gaming world, it is about the least understood market among economists and traders because nobody cares enough to figure it out.

Read the news, everybody is excited about video games now, and people are fuckin' surprised about it. "Gee I never thought it would do so well and be this popular." That's the sentiment shared around the globe about this industry, but that is changing. As people are realizing that they are losing out on tremendous profits, they are finally starting to give it a chance and actually study. There are many that know what they are doing, but the majority is still in the dark.

Nintendo knows what they are doing and have said it several times now. Their target is non-gamers. HD target is gamers.

It's nothing to get defensive about, thats just how it is.

Don't you think NPD should be listing Leapster too? I bet leapster has about 10m WW, why isn't that included?

 

If you take MMO's out of the picture, PC gaming has been stagnating or drifting downwards. Many of the big PC games are also found on HD consoles now. Whats left are the low budget games, mini-games, etc. Sure that part of the PC game market might drift towards the Wii, but its the HD consoles which left the hole wide enough in the first place.
