Forums - Sales Discussion - Nintendo Financial Report is IN

I just want to know what exactly the CEO of Nintendo is smoking when he made a claim that the Wii and DS will sell over a combined 300 million units. When someone in that position states a goal of that, how will it look to Nintendo stockholders should they only hit 180-200 million units combined? There is nothing wrong with setting a goal, but I would find it hard to believe that they would sell that many units over their lifespan.

My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.

Um... I believe that was 300 million pieces of SOFTWARE, as a "middle-to-long-term" (something like that) goal.



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

Nintendo don't make that it's GameFreak which is part of Pokemon Company which is then part of Nintendo, and dispite sales I don't really classify that as the type of RPG that interests me... I don't like Pokemon games, haven't and never will. I don't think Pokemon games are suited towards the JRPG lover like me, thus I think that Monolith will be a great asset.

ah I didn't know it was second party. However, Nintendo does own the company, technically they do ow a good RPG team (even if they make RPG's that don't interest you)



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

MMM i suppose so, but is it really that good? Or does it just sell because people are so crazy about it? It is essentially the same game as Red and Blue... there is so much they could do with the Pokemon series and they seem to just skimp on it terribly and milk it for all its worth. I dunno, I don't really classify it as a GOOD RPG, but I can understand where you're coming from. So many people love the shit outta that play style.
