You know I really wouldn't doubt that.  It seems when Nintendo does well, there are always detractors.  And when they do not so well, people rush to kick while they're down.

The amount of hit pieces out on the company ever since the eve of the Wii launch to today is very suspicious.

This is what I posted elsewhere, but it is relevant here as well:

This was a typical Wall Street 24/7 quickie analysis without any real facts to back up why employees are losing hope. It is mainly companies which have seen stock/market drops. Nintendo falls into that category but still commands more than half the market and large cash receives, unlike others on that list.

I love how the iSuppli numbers appear to have been provided by Apple. And any predictions how should be tempered by the fact of how wrong these same people were about the Wii and DS.

I go on yahoo and type " why is google so much better and why are yahoo losing credibility".

That company that survives entirely due to the generosity of MS has negative thigns to say about MS's competitors? Colour me unsurprised.

They couldn't at least bring out the 3DS problems, and the falling stock? They just fell back on the usual crap of supposed competition from portable devices. PopCap was around for years, so by that logic, its PC games should have been competition for the Wii (barring the games ported to it).

This?

Interesting. I have slowed down on buying Wii games from Best Buy.

Wasn't isuppli the one predicting negative Wii sales? I wonder if that actually came true.

lol...the 3DS has been the best selling game machine in all territories for 6 weeks straight after the price cut. In fact, didn't the 3DS have an increase in Japan, despite not having any significant new software. This 3DS teh is doomed is getting kinda old.
