Forums - Nintendo - Jason Rubin won’t buy a Nintendo Console for his Daughter, Despite Being rich

I totally agree orniletter.

It sounded like he said "I really want my daughter to experience Nintendo games like I did when I was a kid, but only if they'd release their games on the PS and Xbox."

Strange reasoning for someone who is supposedly wealthy.

I just wait tell I find one second hand somewhere. I never buy Xbox or Nintendo products new, because I don't like the way they do business, but I love playing games.


How could anyone have a problem with "how Nintendo does business" ?

Microsoft? 100% agreed (Forza 5, the light on content 60$ game with 50$ Season pass, altered ingame economy AND Microtransactions on top)

but Nintendo ? please...


Just like how the new mobile dragon age has $99 "micro" transactions.   The industry at this rate is becoming a joke, and hopefully more people realize that Nintendo is the only company that is not looking to screw people out of their money.  $2 Pikmin DLC and $20 for Super Mario U was the best deal I have on DLC since RDR Undead Nightmare.

I always sound like a broken record but Iwata is one (if not the single) best CEOs in the entire game industry, he has made a LOT, a LOT of mistakes with the 3DS and WiiU.

But I can´t think of a second CEO who always stresses his pro consumer stance (shipping a complete game, DLC having to be completely optional etc), save working conditions (not cutting jobs to boost short term profitabilty) and his overall long sightedness (not devaluating IPs through cheap iOS cash ins etc.)

He is one of the best.


I agree.  I know the Tsunami that hit there hurt game development some, but they should have found a way to have more games ready for 2013 and at the launch of the 3DS.  That being said, the fact that the 3DS is doing as well as it is in the tablet era is one of the single greatest acheivements in terms of game sales ever.  I knew it would sell better than when it launched but never did I think we would see a week this far in with 1.29 million and it beating the Vita by 33 million.    If they can even get Wii U to 55 - 65 million it will be a massive success in my book considering that in 9 months this year it sold nothing.

He doesn't seem salty to me..I think people can't handle his opinion so they try to find excuses.


He won't buy his DAUGHTER the console. It doesn't have to relate to his taste or opinion. He can have his opinion or taste, but if his DAUGHTER likes Nintendo games then why should she not be able to get a Wii-U? Because he hates it? He can hate it all he wants. I strongly dislike MLP, but if I had a daughter and she liked it I wouldn't refuse to buy her a MLP toy because of that. It's a bit different than him refusing to buy his daughter call of duty. I'm sure if she wanted a seperate PS4 he would have certainly bought one right away for her.

After reading this it just made me realize how much of a loser Rubin is even more.   He's just trying to be mr. macho and is one of those guys that thinks of you play Nintendo you are immature and it is inferior.  These are the same guys that later on go buy a Nintendo because their families are sick and tired of watching him play shooters and heavy stuff, and then end up praising Nintendo for their quality.    If you dont like Nintendo because Mario and Zelda just dont appeal to you, thats cool, but if its just because of the hardware then you are a loser.   I dont own one, but if you really just care about graphics, just build a PC.

What's the Naughty Dog Metroid talk? I don't get it.

Does her daughter even want one? If that is in the video, sorry. I couldn't be bothered.

Also, many people in this thread seem to be sliding around the point and just picking up on what the OP said about him being rich. Maybe pay attention to what the article/video says instead of the OP. That's where things get dodgy.


Jeez NinPie no need to call him a woman.



He is getting his family PlayStation. PlayStation for all. :)



who the hell gives a shit what he want's and does not want? who is he anyway that he deserves a thread of his own?



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Considering his role in THQ's downfall I don't think people should be to bothered on his choices in life.

What role, that had nothing to do with him.
