So Nintendo is, in their own words "utilizing smart devices aggressively". However, you are dismissive of anyone that see this as the beginning of a pivot from Nintendo when this message regarding the mobile platform differs vastly from the message they were telling investors just 3 years ago. They went from a "let's wait and see" approach to "guns blazing" in a matter of three years. Here you are telling me that Nintendo intends on nothing more than keeping the mobile endeavours as more or less cheap advertising to get people to buy more Nintendo hardware, but are we really seeing that? Sure, Nintendo calls it a "communication channel" but how is that implied? Does it mean adversiing, or do they see it as a medium where the games are the communcation. That is, do they view the method of playing a video game on a home console as "communication channel" as well? You're assuming they mean advertising here. I'm not so sure. And. sure we're seeing a slight uptick in 3DS sales, sales of which that are still dramatically down year on year compared to DS sales, but is that a maintainable solution? Is the added boost to hardware and software sales more profitable than the mobile game itself, and if so, will that trend continue.
But again, with Sega, you're failing to understand, Sega no longer makes game consoles because it became more profitable for them to just make games instead. That's the long and short of it. IPs, money in the bank, all of that does not matter. Profit drives publicly traded companies. Nothing more, nothing less. Nintendo is no exception. If Nintendo's leadership fail to meet expectations then new leadership will be put in place to make the decisions that will allow Nintendo to do so.
And if you think i want Nintendo to fail, you're ignorant. Flat out. Just because I believe they will fail as they're proceeding doesn't mean I want them to. All your seeing that somone that is a Nintendo fan, but not a Nintendo fanboy. Learn the difference.

That entire post is FUD. Provide something factual or at least something reasonable instead of empty rhethorics and I might respond again.

Reason #2623 why Rol will never be a mod. As if we really needed another one
Great job with the projection. My post isn't FUD just because you want it to be. My post isn't factually incorrect just because you want it to be. My post isn't unreasonable just because you want it to be. You can't actually countered any of the points i've made aside from repeating the same talking points which I already pointed out are absolutely irrelevant, and gave factual reasons why. There's nothing further to be said if you don't understand how publicly traded companies work. Everything I say hinges on people such as yourself having at the very least a basic understanding of economics. You appear to lack that understanding, and lash out at anyone who does because maybe it means Nintendo taking a direction you don't like. Have a good day.
