Ah, the whole "but it's profitable" angle. The last refuge of a Nintendo fan boy.



lol, you sound hurt cuz of it


With excception of the Wii-U, I have every Nintendo console and handheld that they've MADE. Having been born in 1979, I AM the Nintendo generation. My entire childhood was the NES/SNES. But you know what? None of that can alter reality.

Nintendo is back where it was during the Gamecube years. I remember it clearly, as I stood in line over night to get one at launch, and spent the following years watching it get mocked by core gamers to no end. Everyone loved the Gameboy, but the Gamecube? Lame and kiddy. That's what Nintendo WAS. It seems like the younger generation has this weird, altered view about them due to the Wii and DS where they think Nintendo has and will always be kings. But that just isn't the case. In all my life, which spans the ENTIRE modern console industry, Nintendo only had two dominant consoles (NES and Wii). The SNES took 3 and a half YEARS too over take the Genesis, and only did so thanks to DKC and Sega's shift towards the Saturn. So the facts are, Nintendo's console's have been less popular than not.

Fanboys, of ALL kinds, are the most ignorant and blinded people on earth and this thread is just more proof of it. I mean, when you're going to start arguing company profit? Unless you own stock in them, there's no point. It just pathic and desperate.



lol to your statement, i dont care if you been a fan or watever since nintendo started in the 19th century. """Unless you own stock in them, there's no point"""" If its pointless why the hell are you commenting in this thread? Gamecube sold the least hardware by far but its a favorite console to many hardcore fans. Even if it sold at a loss, software + Handheld made nintendo very profitable. The chart to prove it is a couple pages back. You are trying to downplay nintendo like you do with alot of other threads. Yes i know WiiU wont be no NES/Wii Successful but at the same time do you own a crstal ball? No i dont think so, i wouldn't be surprised if you were one of the many people that thought 3DS was doomed 2 years ago. Anything can happen, PS3 is a great example of this. Terrible launch and loss of profits for years now look where its at? For somebody saying its desperate/stupid/etc to wrry about profits or post about it makes you look kind of silly since your arguing in it as well? Guess we wont agree, just stop. Look at facts Nintendo = Profitable. Anybody could be an *** and say one negative thing like WiiU is selling bad. Of course it is but as a whole Nintendo is doing good. Same could be said with Sony, Vita is doing terrible (outside japan) but ps4 will make sony tons of cash!!!
