1) Nintendo couldn't predict that their console would be the fastest selling console in history. They may be profit rich but they're not resource rich.

2) Wiifit and SSBB are continuing to sell well. I doubt that simultaneous launches would have produced more sells. People are going to buy them eventually if they wanted to in the first place.

3) Nintendo is giving the holidays to Third-Party developers. My best guess is that there will definitely be titles in the future but they're going to either use MotionPlus, which isn't out til Spring, or they still in development. At least there's Wario Land: Shake It, Kirby Superstar Ultra and others to look foward to from here to January.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I forgot to add that they could have priced the Wii at $299 and seen much bigger profits.

 

 and this wouldnt help them in sales

It's also an assumtion based on a business decision that could have possibly led to the Wii being the next Gamecube. Second guessing Nintendo in the business arena has never proven lucrative.

My last post ended this threats validity, however, and now we're just crossing the t's and dotting the i's in what is a failed attempt at mockery, satire, and retribution.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

If by shoot themselves in the feet with money bullets, then yes...

I see that this is not what this thread is about. Er...

"Shooting yourself in the foot" means to have confusion and cause trouble for yourself to the point where all progress or any chance for a positive outcome is lost.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I would like to see instances where casuals left.

NES was a fad that took the world by storm, selling 60 million units right after the video game crash.  Super Nintendo went on to sell 20 million less, a larger portion of that (as well as Sega Genesis) being to a younger demographic as many older, casual gamers who owned a Nintendo didn't go on to the next generation.

Of all things in the history of the world that could be described as shooting yourself in the foot, Nintendo gaming division has to be the least likely candidate for that lable.

The things you mentioned are at least unimportant, and at best planned strategies that go far deeper than anything you or I could imagine.

 

This topic shall follow you. Eternal disgrace.

 

wow had no idea disney was in second ! what a twist !

And you sound like a fanboy.

You really don't get it, do you?

Speaking of people who don't get it. This is obviously a joke thread based of this thread http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=35838

You can take off the Superman tights with the N on the chest and live to defend another day.

What are you talking about? I knew it all along that this thread is a response to Noobie's thread, that's why I wrote my first post the way I did.

Also, what's with the quick insults today? (you and slimeattack)

If being compared to the greatest superhero of all time is an insult, then insult me all day long
