Donate money to Nintendo

Much of what you said seems to be based on assumptions. You assume that Nintendo's games are low-budget, and you (seem) to assume that Nintendo has some bad values in the industry when you aren't an insider or anyone who would know what goes on in meetings...what I am doing is taking more of a neutral stance...I'm not making statements about Nintendo's budgets when I'm not completely sure on them.

That first sentence of yours is an assumption too. You "assume" you are speculating less than me but you aren't. You have a point of view. I have a different one. We are discussing the differences. That's all. It would be egocentric of you to think the other side is full of assumptions just because it holds a different opinion.

I assume Nintendo games are low-budget like I assume the average person in Australia is richer than the average person in Somalia although I don't know the GDP per capita of those countries. Yet, I would bet 1 million dollars on that statement (look that I don't know the numbers and I would risk more than my whole life working). But you would never do such a thing. You only talk about what you are completely sure. Well, I just smile at you and kindly disagree from your logic.

Moreover, you don't seem to follow your own logic. Look at the assumptions you make:

- "Nintendo's market share rise and fall came to happen because of many different problems."

- "If a company sees that their product is still selling at the price that it first was sold at, they're going to keep it at that price."

- "This didn't effect Nintendo's market share."

- "They have to follow laws."

- "It shows how the gaming community can come together on something and push against it."

...the list goes on and on as half of what you say are assumptions.

I'm saying that all companies have the same end goal; to make money.

And I am saying they pursue it differently. Is it that hard to believe that different companies have different attitude?

 

NintendoPie said:

I'm saying that companies reply to supply and demand.

No, you're assuming supply-and-demand basics as unavoidable reality. One more to the list.

I'm not an insider nor am I trying to assume how Nintendo does their business. I'm just looking at the basics here.

I'm not assuming it, I'm looking into it. There is plenty of public information to understand how Nintendo operates. Just look at their business decisions and results and the history of all this iterative process of interacting with devs, retailers and gamers.

... what?

You said: "The PS3 cost more than it for awhile, then became the same price. The XB 360 was sold at the same price, for certain editions."

I asked: "In what year, month, day, second did you see the PS3 or X360 more expensive than the Wii U?"

Is it hard to follow?

I'm also wondering, what is your goal with this discussion? Other than to try to change my mind.

I can ask you the same thing. What do you want from me besides forcing me to believe you're a very neutral guy that doesn't make assumptions?
