You must be joking, because the other option, that is you are being serious shows that you don't have the sligthest clue about Nintendo, not being rude, just stating the obvious!

Quite obvious when you use logic, he clearly comes to the thread to post how crappy Gamestop is, he is informing his fellow citizen to be aware of stupid pretend journalism, newbies & ill-informed readers should take note & thank him for his sincere warning.

"Keep clicking on them and they will stay around because they get hits."-----> "Didnt read because Gamespot" =???

Well, he is great at sucking so that makes sense.

I just came here to say fuck gamespot.
I'm out.

Wrong. This is written from the perspective of someone looking back, after the DS became a huge success. I promise you, at the time the DS was announced as a 'third pillar' (Nintendo's own words) and Nintendo said it was not meant to replace the Gameboy line. It was hugely risky, and most commentators and analysts thought it was going to get stampeded by the super-powerful PSP.

Nintendo only largely moved support to DS after it became a runaway success (around the time of the DS Lite). It was a risky gamble, and positioned as such at the time.

that hiring spree had nothign to do with development though. Was majority  business oriented staff.

Quite obvious when you use logic lmao....If he was using logic he would have said more than 5 words which come off as a petty excuse to write off a gaming website. This is common practise though, you find as soon a company says something bad about someones favourite console they are suddenly  and I quote "stupid pretend journalism, newbies " but next week when they say something NICE It's okay!! suddenly they're the greatest gaming website of all time!! 

Double standards everywhere I look.

Nintendo has billions in the bank. It might not be doing well profit wise at the moment, but it is making profit. And Nintendo will always weather the storm, as they have before. I have no doubt while the QOL platform might not be successful, Nintendo will find a way as they have in the past.

Tsc Tsc.... this is tottally nonsense. Nintendo knows very well, as everyone should know by now, that the videogame console business is shrinking and will dissapear in some years, they´re just trying to find new business models to work on, like they have been doing for more than 100 years. Still, they won´t ignore the game market with their huge IPs and will continue to support consoles as long as there´s an audience for them

Gamespot must be really in desperate need of clicks - this is what every videogame website do when they´re losing attention and audience: publish a controversial article about Nintendo problems - as if Sony (Vita, anyone?) and MS (XboxOne sales) were not facing problems too in their videogame divisions and as if many studios and developers were not closing doors in the last 3 years.

Besides, no one still knows what exactely what the "Quality of Life" business model means, so anything said and written about that is just mere guessing speculation.
