Darwinianevolution on 16 November 2014

Both will sell well: they have both SSB, Pokemon, Amiibos... I hope they sell the 3DS stock in the west an can bring the N3DS model here,



You know it deserves the GOTY.

So one quarter with a profit after making a loss for the last couple of years = printing money now?

You'l be quiet when Nintendo in Q4 gets 1B$ net income profit with Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Amiibo, etc...

Nope. Maybe if they continue making profit into next year... but not until then.


They are not Sony... :)

Microsoft = Bank of Japan

Nintendo = Toyota

Sony = Ford Europe

I wonder how many third parties will go bankrupt this gen?

Don't have a clue what those reference mean, so I'll just say... yay Sony got Europe, Europe FTW!

BOJ recently announced a massive expansion of money printing. Toyota is printing money after they posted losses some years ago. Ford Europe had sales of cars/revenue increase, but are still making massive losses.

Oh, that sounds like a decent comparison then

Microsoft can literally wipe their asses with 100 dollar bills. This is why I laugh at people who think the Xbox is doomed or going to be sold off. Microsoft can use their financial muscle to FORCE the Xbox One to turn around in sales (with the exception of Xbox One Japan, its fucked there).

Xbox is only thing that makes DirectX relevant...

They aren't.

Printing money = Easily making a ton of cash (as in profit)

The DS and Wii printed money, the 3DS and Wii U aren't even close to doing that.


Nobody is comparing DS/Wii to 3DS/WiiU. "Neither the 3DS nor the Wii U are printing money." but they are making a profit, thus making money for each one sold.

It doesn't matter if This gen is nowhere close to making money like last gen. We arent comparing the 2. Im talking now, like i said in my post you quoted (i edited it), during this Quarter, Nintendo should definitely make the most money this Quarter out of the big trio (talking Video Game department only)

Well people should be comparing it, especially since this Meme was originally created for the DS/Wii, simply profitting does not constitute as printing money.

Also I really wouldn't bet on the bolded.

Edit: That reminds, while I was banned I remember seeing a thread on here saying that Nintendo profited more this last quarter than Sonys game division did, did anyone ever bother to point out that that thread was comparing operating income for Sony with net profit for Nintendo?

If that was the case, that'd make it even better for NIntendo's performance...

Yeah the have, but they also have one thing called shareholders that will prevent the company from bleeding money.

Last I heard there were shareholders asking for them to sell the xbox division.

Not really, Nintendos operating income was lower than Sonys.

9.255bn Yen for Nintendo versus 21.8bn Yen for Sonys game division.
