I heard that Nintendo only shipped a limited supply to prevent it from dropping into cheap-o-bins too quickly like the last DS zelda


You heard wrong Troll. Surprising coming from a person playing nothing but Playstation games.


Wow, guess it's easy to spot a nintendrone.

Ummm what ever that means.

It means you may have misconstrued the original poster's intent.  Yes he could have said "bargain bin" instead, but you can't just assume he's trolling, maybe that's just how he calls it.  Seeing as he has about 3,000 more posts than you and you're the one blatantly calling people names, you might want to watch for mods. 

He was probably referring to this:  http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/30/rumor-ocarina-of-time-3d-to-see-limited-initial-release/

LOL whatever dude. What does 3000 more posts then me even mean? So your saying because he has more posts...he's in the right?? It is clear that this thread was made to congradulate OOT for selling well, in a Nintendo thread. He comes along and spouts out "cheap-o-bins" and hinting the reason it is selling well is because Nintendo capped shipment. Every single person had something good to say except him. Are you aware what a Troll is ? 

 

"An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums.  A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion.  Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war."

And thats what he did. If people are trolling, they get called on it. You only have to watch for Mods when you do something wrong.

I already explained the "cheap-o bin" thing.  Even some Nintendo fans are using the low shipment argument as a reason it may have sold  so "low" in Japan.  He made an observation.  If you think he's trolling, report him and see what mods say.  All I'm saying is that by calling people a troll blatantly you run the risk of getting moderated yourself.  It's your call man.


I'd listen to Nyanks on this one. Calling someone a troll without competent evidence his intent was to troll could be seen as harrasment or trolling yourself. I would report someone and leave it to the mods to figure out if your complaint is valid. Also the Nintendrone comment is flame bait if I've ever seen it. Just avoid attacking other users without clear grounds and if you have clear grounds it's better to inform a mod of the comments rather then attack the other users integrity!

As for this whole he has 3,000 more posts then you. That doesn't mean anything I've been here longer then many members with more posts then me. I've been banned twice, infact if you have a radiculous post count in a short period of time that doesn't really help your case. Mod's don't care if you have 1,000 posts or 10,000 posts they are going to judge fairly (Hopefully).

As for under shipping. Galaki is right it is not in Nintendo's interest to undership right now. 3DS sales are low infact so low that PSP has beaten 3DS some weeks. That is very sad and if Nintendo has a chance to increase those sales through a game like OoT they aren't going to undership. Nintendo wants to shift as much hardware as possible and undershipping would damage 3DS's hardware sales.

Even if 3DS hardware wasn't selling poorly Nintendo is facing investor anger over the shortage of income. Nintendo needs to desperatly show investors that its software will sell. Undershipping would lead investors to believe Nintendo is incompetent and that Nintendo isn't selling enough software.

Nintendo needs the income, they need the hardware sales and they need OoT to sell well. They can't afford to and wouldn't be dumb enough to undership.
