Didnt the latest figures from Nintendo show they were back to making profit??
| Gamerace said: As much as I dislike saying so, currently, he's right. 3DS is doing well in Japan but that's about all I can give Nintendo at the moment. Outside of Japan 3DS sales are soft and WiiU's are atrocious. They are not making money off the hardware, and without strong hardware sales, that negatively impacts software sales. Poor 3rd party support also means less profit. Iwata was all aces with DS/Wii but now Nintendo has royally screwed up with 3DS/WiiU and that also must be credited to Iwata. I don't forsee either system becoming a big success (3DS will obviously do better than WiiU and will be 'successful' but not to GB/DS levels). I think Nintendo's IP's are strong enough to support it's own hardware but not at the price points of old. In the days of Real Racing 3 (freedium iOS/Android), Mario Kart seems vastly overpriced at $60. If Nintendo releases an Android based Nintendo system and Nintendo digital games are priced accordingly - $5-$20 (Retail $30-$50) they'll sell in huge numbers. |
just want to say that Real Racing 3 is a horrible, horrible example, and is one of the reasons why EA needs a good spanking from consumers.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
Why does gametrailers even keep the guy.
I always think of Fox News when I hear Pach Attack.
I LOVE ICELAND!
This guy is lame
I don't agree with him this time. And not only for his terrible taste in marketing sense praising NOA, but also because he believes Iwata is poor CEO because he established the price of 3DS lower than Pachter brilliant one and released the Wii U 2 years after the "analyst" wanted.
Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe
Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile
that smartphone talk is going on for 5years now not much has changed...the only thing handhelds and console need to change is the lifecycle 6,7 years is too long..5 years is too long. Iwata poor CEO is pure hatred towards the man that never spoke to him never got time for him..Iwata almost by himself made the company bigger then ever and he followed the trend of just upgrading the new handheld system and that was a mistake he did what everybody is doing and not what he was doing before.. that is making something unique like the original DS. So Iwata actually did the right thing but not the right thing for Nintendo,,.

So, Nintendo make bad business decisions, and they are a bad company that doesn't make money (his actual words, apparently).
That clearly explains why he loves Sony and Playstation so much, and is so enthusiastic and positive about them all the time. It makes perfect sense and isn't contradictory at all! Such a wise and unbiased man, if only more people were like him.
Also, his last sentence, gotta love it: “If you don’t like that answer, Nintendo fans, deal with it" ... So professional, what a guy! :)

| TheJimbo1234 said: He's a nob, and wrong 90% of the time...... ....but not this time. Those points a true and valid. They have an old business model, got very lucky with the Wii, and now everything is going tits up for them. Sure, the 3DS is going ok for the moment, but will this continue with smartphones etc? Well I've yet to see the kid with the Galaxy AND 3DS, so I'm going to say not for long. As for the WiiU, well the poor sales say it all. |
They got very lucky with the Wii
They got very lucky with the DS
They got very lucky with the 3DS
Come Christmas time you will be saying that they got very lucky with the WiiU
How many times does someone have to get lucky before you finally admit they are doing things well?
I was prepared to entertain the argument, but Pachter went and Pachtered it up. I'm curious: exactly what part(s) do the people who agree with the article think are actually valid?
