Don't act like it's unfounded, Nintendo would never have responded they way they did had it not been true. And since the cut there hasn't been much 3DS doom and gloom save for the silly 2nd stick gate

You're not serious, are you? It's been a while since the cut (measuring by Internet time at least), yet lots of venues out there declare as a fact that the 3DS is a  failure/flop (and no they are not talking about the launch)... A recent and typical example (not even totally about the 3DS) would be the gamesindustry.biz article which says: "The failure of the 3DS isn't a boon to Sony - it's a portent of disaster." (and is the basis for this  thread - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134260)


Yes, but theres only so much you can take seriously from bloggers with declared investments in Apple Stock (or Don Reisinger for that matter).

Infact im sure you'd find it hard pressed to find many journalists in tech news that DON'T hold a position in Apple Stock these days.

 



“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.
