and the Capcom guy can go as well for letting himself be moneyhatted by Nintendo, and thus not releasing MH Vita and RE Vita.

Capcom's leadership could use a change for several reasons but putting MH on 3DS was one of he few things he got right. The Vita's performance out side of Japan is plain terrible.

And why do you think Vita had such a hard time? Nintendo moneyhatted Capcom to get Monster Hunter and to make sure MH wouldn't be on Vita so as to strip the wings from it from the very start. They also got sega to make a Hatsune Miku game in early 2012 to make people think the series had shifted sides too. On WiiU you have the pathetic Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge and Rayman cases too. All they do is just pilfering games and deceiving people to hurt the competition. They need to go down for this and Iwata is first on the line.


You really need to stop with your blatant Sony fanboyism. Sony is the one that started whole money hatting process to begin with. I find it laughable that you would chastise Nintendo of all companies for Money hatting when Sony has done so the most frequently. Particularly during the 5th and 6th generations. Sony is the reason MS got into the gaming industry. They showed MS that they could buy their way in with a big wallet. The only reason they don't do so as much now is because MS has bigger wallet and Sony's finances are in the dumps.



Around the Network

At Capcom they are smart people, actually:
They gave 3DS "MH" exclusive (timed or whole gen, we don't know, but didn't anybody notice that just "MH" + version number was already a Ninty exclusive for 7th gen, while Sony, MS and other platforms received games that were actually titled like spin-offs? Then MH Freedom became the franchise best-seller, so Ninty can keep plain MH, if it wants, and pay for it too.

The Wii U is being sold at a loss, and that's before unoffical price cuts. Now from the outset the low sales then sound a good thing, however if we consider R&D costs, Nintendo need to sell a lot more consoles to cover costs otherwise they will lose a lot of cash.

Iwata is the CEO of NINTENDO, not Wii U incorporated. If the 3DS makes them money, the Wii U loses money and the games makes them money... who cares. The only thing the shareholders check is the numbers in their reports, those were in red because they already reported R&D for the new console. I think he is safe at least for a full year.

Lol no dude, just no. Investors care because it shows Iwata has made a huge, huge mistake in the Wii U if its a complete money-sink. Who the fuck thinks "OMG he chose to go with a console that very few want buts thats okay"?

Just to add on to what you said, Sony specifically signed contracts to have the Tomb Raider sequels be exclusive to the PlayStation console despite the series having signs of success on the Saturn. Sony also signed a contract with Capcom which made the sequels to Resident Evil PlayStation exclusive. In fact, because of the nature of the agreement, Resident Evil: Code Veronica could not have the number 3 in it's title despite being the actual sequel to Resident Evil 2. Instead, it had to be given to the Nemesis game because that was the PlayStation exclusive game, even though Resident Evil 3 was basically Resident Evil 2.5. That probably hurt Code Veronica's marketing a lot. Sony was also the reason why the GTA III and Vice City was initially exclusive to the PS2. Microsoft did the very same thing with Xbox and Xbox 360. 

Personally, I have nothing against console makers doing this because it is simply called competition. Not to mention, blame should be played on third parties since they are the ones who agreed to do it in the first place.
