Isn't Nintendo losing money? Not too sure so don't quote me on that but I thought they were going downhill.

Nintendo had it's first lost ever during the last quarter, but that was because of the 3DS price cut. Now that they aren't losing any money on the system they will probably make a profit, or at least break even (we'll make sure about it in a couple of days)

It's all about Yen exchange rate, unfortunately. On the brighter side, the company's predictions about exchange rate have been accurate this time, so they may be better able to compensate for it.

adults don't really care -

and i guess for kids Wii U naturally induces the notions of fun and joy

We've had worse before, remember "Joystick" ?



Girl with nice rack: "Hi, is your son home ?"
Careless mother : "he is probably upstairs playing with his joystick, hold on a second"
Careless mother the return : "John ? Could you please come downstairs, someone is here for you"
Boy upstairs : Coming !! (zips up)

I think the name is good and my reaction to it was more positive than the time when they revealed the Wii. Wii 2 is typical Sony and Nintendo is more inventive than just adding a number and call it a day so they came up with something that includes you as well as us so Wii U sounds perfect and easy to use and recognize. people might actually call it the U later on

LOL. 

"Hey what consoles you got?"

"Oh you know I just got the U. I love playing Call of Duty on U."

wtf?

on me?

I've spent many hours of my life playing with my joystick. Great times.
