Signature goes here!

Around the Network

Ahhhhh, but if Diablo 3 launches on Wii U this year, Pachter's little theory falls apart!



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

the 18.5 mill was for the franchise , it includes Diablo , Diablo2 , lOD, plus the Diablo chest set and the triple pack with SC and WC and the playstation version of diablo. so I expect 4 mill and 8 mill plus lifetime .

Well, duh. For a minimum, that's fairly decent.
