Nintendo should make better use of its more than $10 billion cash pile

 

 I actually believe nintendo knows what their business is... 

ok.  thats fine. 

Investors dont agree with you and their recent performance says otherwise.  The recent massive price cut also disagrees with you, so in a sense Nintendo disagrees with you too.

 Actually, they know their business very well, thats why they dont use the app route... I mean angry birds "sold" more than 100 million... and yet they havent made $100 million... but then you see smash bros, new super mario, DK, mario galaxy, mario kart... mario kart has sold more 25 millions (without bundles) make the math (25000000*$49= $1225000000) I mean business wise there is no contest. The iphones/app and all that stuff could work for publishing, but thats not the future of gaming.  

This. What's hitting Ninty hard right now is just messing with or neglecting the targets it actually wants to cater for. Diversifying could be a good move, but is it in a market like cellphones with fierce competition, where even MS with all its billions is struggling against the market leaders?
