I just wait tell I find one second hand somewhere. I never buy Xbox or Nintendo products new, because I don't like the way they do business, but I love playing games.


How could anyone have a problem with "how Nintendo does business" ?

Microsoft? 100% agreed (Forza 5, the light on content 60$ game with 50$ Season pass, altered ingame economy AND Microtransactions on top)

but Nintendo ? please...


Just like how the new mobile dragon age has $99 "micro" transactions.   The industry at this rate is becoming a joke, and hopefully more people realize that Nintendo is the only company that is not looking to screw people out of their money.  $2 Pikmin DLC and $20 for Super Mario U was the best deal I have on DLC since RDR Undead Nightmare.

I always sound like a broken record but Iwata is one (if not the single) best CEOs in the entire game industry, he has made a LOT, a LOT of mistakes with the 3DS and WiiU.

But I can´t think of a second CEO who always stresses his pro consumer stance (shipping a complete game, DLC having to be completely optional etc), save working conditions (not cutting jobs to boost short term profitabilty) and his overall long sightedness (not devaluating IPs through cheap iOS cash ins etc.)

He is one of the best.


I agree.  I know the Tsunami that hit there hurt game development some, but they should have found a way to have more games ready for 2013 and at the launch of the 3DS.  That being said, the fact that the 3DS is doing as well as it is in the tablet era is one of the single greatest acheivements in terms of game sales ever.  I knew it would sell better than when it launched but never did I think we would see a week this far in with 1.29 million and it beating the Vita by 33 million.    If they can even get Wii U to 55 - 65 million it will be a massive success in my book considering that in 9 months this year it sold nothing.
