| damkira said: Its because Legend11's avatar has never changed that his posts have stuck in my mind and I can remember some of the more irrational anti-wii threads he created. Nintendo is just as bad as Communism. Miyamoto is old, and Nintendo will fail when he retires. Piracy will destroy the DS. The group, which was born through the 2004 merger of videogame creator Sega and pachinko pinball machine maker Sammy, also confirmed plans to close 110 unprofitable amusement parks and arcade outlets amid growing competition from home consoles such as Nintendo’s Wii.
Sega Sammy posted losses of 15.77 billion yen for the nine months to December, compared to a profit of 49.38 billion yen a year earlier, according to an Agence France-Presse report.
It also had an operating loss of 1.53 billion yen, compared to profit of 75.19 billion yen last year, as revenue fell by more than 15 percent to 342.09 billion yen.
The company said it will use an early retirement scheme to cut 400 jobs at a cost of around 2.9 billion yen.
“The move forms part of the latest turnaround efforts, aimed at transforming Sega into a sustainable company,” said company spokesperson Mitsunobu Higashi.
For the full financial year to March the company expects to report a net loss of 26 billion yen, having previously forecast a one billion yen profit. It also forecast an operating loss of six billion yen on revenue of 475 billion yen.
“For Sega, performance at our core businesses including amusement parks and domestic consumer businesses is faltering because we were unable to deal with the change in the business environment,” the company said in a statement. Surely, there are much more but those are the ones that have made a particular impression. Legend11 seems personally offended by the Wii's success but to me a troll only wants to disrupt a forum and I don't think that's his goal.

The Communism thread was a parody of another thread in which the Xbox 360 was compared to Nazi Germany or some such ridiculous thing.
The Miyamoto is old and Nintendo will fail when he retires was not what the thread about Miyamoto retiring was about. I asked what people thought Nintendo would be like after Miyamoto retires, I never said Nintendo would fail or anything like that.
Piracy will destroy the DS is something I never said. I posted an article from a respected newspaper about R4s being sold in Japanese shops. The article itself (not me) said that piracy was become a problem for the DS. Some insecure fanboys tried to portray it as me attacking the DS which simply wasn't the case.
The SSSB looks good so it must be CGI is based on an old trailer for the game. The game itself looks exactly as I expected it to (based on current gameplay trailers on GameTrailers). The old trailer had almost all cutscenes and was similar in my opinion to old Final Fantasy 7 trailers that mainly showed cutscenes.
The problem a lot of people have is that they read my posts with preconceived notions and it leads to people seeing things in my posts that aren't there.
