To me its obvious something major is going down with new hardware.

A 100 million mysterious acquisition

An increase of 270 million in R & D in a single quarter

The whole mysterious QOL

Nintendo has new hardware coming and we're going to see it soon

Hmm might not be gaming-related. I think it's something for their QOL venture.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well, last time they did that was when they bought the 3d parallaxx tech for the Virtual Boy, also a mistery secret tech, for 5 million. So my guess is that they bought some stuff for the QofL thing, and maybe it is a camera for scanning body movement, like Kinect.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

They bought a tech, not a I.P.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
