I'm sorry I totally forgot that you got a small percentage of every sale they made. None of that matters to me.

That's correct. I'm swimming in the cash.

How much does Sony pay you?

That's right! He's the man who propelled Nintendo to the top sales-wise last gen!

The sales certainly do for the compamy :D

Iwata is slipping. He's getting behind the times instead of standing at the forefront

I totally agree.

Cloud services are temporary services that can be closed at any time. In short, you dont really own anything with it. They are renting services.

Wouldn't that imply that they are the future, as companies desperately try to wring out more and more revenue from a shrinking userbase?

It's not just about hardware. Nintendo didn't do so well in the Software department other than the usual games that they release like Mario and Zelda. They need to be more developer friendly so people will start to make third party games on their consoles, something that the Wii U is lacking at the moment.

Wasn't he the president since the GameCube days?

I'm pretty sure he was. Then again, the GameCube was quite a good console despite it's major sales failure.

Good or bad, doesn't change the fact that Iwata did nothing to save it.

In times of the Wii I would have agreed 100% with you, but the 3rd party aspect seems to improve. At least the smaller e-shop developers seem to be satisfied with Nintendo's support.

I suggest you take a look at the top 20 best selling games of all time, you'll find a disproportionate amount of Wii games in there.



Iwata is running the company into the ground. He needs a replacement immediately.
