Most Japanese video game companies have side businesses which keep them generally solvent even when they don't appear to be releasing much at times when more prolific Western companies are struggling.. Konami has health clubs, slot machines, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Namco Bandai has toys, anime, and amusement parks. Square Enix has a sizable toy division. Sega Sammy has anime, slot machines and arcades in Japan. All of them, including Nintendo, have comic divisions.


That's really interesting, I didn't know that! Well, aside from Namco's toys, anyway. That certainly explains how they stay afloat. I've often wondered when I saw several mediocre sales results for several consecutive releases how the companies keep going, but that makes sense now. Does Capcom have anything? If not, maybe that's why they're struggling so much lately.

Even though Nintendo has had plenty of stumbles they will never fail. Their seemingly everlasting quality will keep them alive for years to come. Plus next gen they'll probably pull a "Revolution and make a console that sells like hotcakes. As for the handheld, it may be their last gen, next gen, and then they'll move on. I could even see them doing a 3 pillar system with smartphones, next handheld, and next console



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Thanks for all the great memories!

And they release a new console in 2017, 3 years before Sony/Microsoft are done with this generation with industry leading graphics...


I think they'll have staggered releases with atleast a year between launches... Although, if XBONE doesn't improve over the years I could see Micro releasing a system early like they did with 360.

But fear not, gameplay is already proving to be a meddling aspect of the glorious medium known as GAMING. Industry leading graphics will surely save this industry from collapsing into its own brown hole.


Colons are pink, no? Er.... or so I've been told. >_>

Outside of the video game industry their outdated attitude will not be accepted.

Third party by the end of the gen.

Why do you do this to yourself? I know you'll be here in three years, so you can't even excuse your stultifyingly outspoken performances with a hit and run attitude.


They're mostly right, when I'm serious.

I think Pachter tried that line once too.

Worst prediction ever.
