Forums - Nintendo - I find it funny that the gaming media thought 2008 was Nintendos worst year for games, yet it was nintendos most successful year by far in profits, game sales, and system sales for nintendos history

Biggest Year ever for nintedo for software sales, Biggest year ever for nintendo for selling consoles, and biggest year ever for nintendo for profits. Their stock was at an all time and Nintendo dominated everyone this year, yet the media was saying lack of hardcore games killed this year. And i just think its funny how both sales and profits say otherwise, anyone else think this was somewhat funny or ironic?

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Which gaming media site? Or are you speaking in general?

Gimme dem links boy!



I expected a list of games released in 2008.

Your thread fails because,

"worst year for games" =/= "worst year for profit"

It's not the same thing. Some companies release SHIT games and make a ton of money. What if Nintendo started doing that? Would you think that's funny!? Cause THAT'S what you're implying.



Nintendo made a lot of money with games like Wii Fit and ignored true gamers. Only third party games like Endless Ocean and Disaster: Day of Crisis saved the Wii that year, plus it become clear that the Wii was going to win the gen.

Terrible year overall.

Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Animal Crossing were all released in 08

Smash Bros and Mario Kart came out that year.



Hmm, could still be the worst year for hardcore games even if it was the best Nintendo had in monetary gains. If Toyota releases a new Corolla, Prius and Yaris one year and they sell gangbusters, skyrocketing Toyota stock and giving them a record year, can you honestly claim that this was the best year for car enthusiasts? Or sports car enthusiasts? Motor sports enthusiasts?

Disaster: Day of Crisis was developed by Monolith Soft, a first-party developer for Nintendo.

I find it funny you dont provide a games list, no one ever claimed 2008 was the worst year of Nintendo games.
