The money just prints itself! I just wish I had a good gif to show.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

So, there's a gif of the Wii U or the 3DS printing money. What should we use now? A phone with the Pokemon logo?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

This app is crazy because Pokemon Go is estimated to bring in $1B while the 3ds brings in around $1B in software.

Pokemon GO is going to make up a massive chunk of Nintendo's total revenue for this calendar year xD.

They truly have the advantage on the mobile front over Microsoft and Sony, neither of them have the IP's or Brands that seem ready viral hits for mobile like Nintendo does.

I mean can you imagine an Uncharted or God of War mobile game being a huge hit?

Or a Halo or Gears Mobile game?

 

Meanwhile Nintendo have Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Nintendogs, Mario Kart. The list goes on, Tons of strong brands that on paper seem like they'd make absolute bank on mobile.
