What they need to focus on is the games. Forget all about spinning the numbers to make it seem likes it's beating the Wii and just focus on teh gamez.
I know that was a totally groundbreaking idea, nobody steal it from me! (But seriously, get on that.)

The problem is that the investors don't care about the games.  Case in point, when Nintendo revealed that it got both MH3G and MH4, stocks went down.  Nintendo always focuses on the games but it needs to show numbers so that it will continue to have the financing it needs to go forward.  I also don't think the PR market uses to many world renowned game developers that their efforts delay and prevent the release of new games.  I really don't get the relationship between the PR spin and the "gamez".

Even if the investors don't care about games, they'll care about the profits those games generate. 


Not really, in many ways they don't look at it that way.  They're so used to thing like the Iphone making huge profits even without the appstore that they expect everything to be the same as it.  I will repeat, the announcment of Nintendo getting exclusive rights to MH3G and MH4 was small news for investors and caused the stock price to drop.  They follow games to know which will have a huge impact and generate sales and drive the platform forward.  All they care about is the big news that revenues incresed, or profit margin is 11% higher ect...

 

I come back to my original point and ask, what does the PR spin have to do with the games?  It doesn't delay it or anything.  It doesn't reduce the number of games coming out, what is the difference whether they put their PR spin or not?
