When Nintendo goes software only in the future I hope they go on over to mobile only- That will show developers and the HD twins!

Well of course it would, because there wouldn't be any other consoles around. Sony and MS would have to either leave the console market or outright shut down/go bankrupt before Nintendo would be in this situation. Do you know how much money in IP marketing ALONE Nintendo makes? Nintendo's financial lines go much deeper than videogames.

they said that for real??

lol

Nintendo is like "..those bastards wont be getting ANY of our franchises.."

XD

I'm pretty sure they did say that, then Iwata went on to say this,"*Laughs*"

Yep, Iwata said that last year in a meeting with investors, when one asked him why Nintendo wasn't in the mobile market, so Iwata replied him with that quote!!

Nah, I think Nintendo will be the last on the Big 3 to perish. Even if they only sell 2 million consoles a year.

I make bad threads.

You would like to see Nintendo go software only. That way you could stop pretending.

I actually think that many large publishers and (potentially) Sony and/or Microsoft will be out of the gaming business long before Nintendo ... There seems to be a certain suicidal quality to their business models that they don't seem willing or able to restrain.

Nintendo is highly successful with the 3DS, and will likely be able to rebound with the Wii U to turn it into a successful system, and be able to release successors to these systems. In contrast, depending on what Sony and Microsoft produce as consoles, many large publishers won't be around to see Nintendo release their successors.

it would kinda be awkward if they were forced to go back to Nintendo after all these years lol.

Square Enix: Hey buddy remember FF6? We totally had your back those Sony guys never meant anything to us!

Haha this made my first LOL today =) good times, good times!

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

As Nintendo continues to license Arcade games.

http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/corporate/press/release/58/pdf/20130206.pdf

Would you count that as a counterpoint to what he said?

Nintendo started off making Arcade Games.

It shows their willingness to put their software and franchises on platforms other than their own.

Mario Kart GP DX is most likely running on a new version of the Triforce Arcade board which is probably now based on Wii U hardware. - http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Triforce
