Forums - Sales - Nintendo makes $1 billion profit for Q1 08

Stop crying Prisitine, you are ruining the thread. It's sad to see fanboys downplay the Wii becuse it's the leading console. Saying its destroying the industry because they are mad about the current status of their console of choice.

Lets face it, no 3rd party dev is going to ignore the Wii, not anymore. At the pace Wii is selling it may turn into a SNES/PS2 (in terms of support) just like DS is doing. Wait a bit and you'll get surprised about all the support that will come.

 I'm ruining the thread? Everyone seems to be responding to my posts so it would seem like I'm actually keeping the thread alive.

on topic, I never said that 3rd parties are ignoring the wii. I actually said they are starting to support the wii more, just following nintendo's example. looking forward to more "game parties", "beer pongos", "mario does triple jump", "Barbie is moonwalking" etc.

Just like I'm looking forward to on PS360 "Sci Fi Shooter Project with badass lead character an no originality 1, 2, 3, and 4", "WRPG that is fantasy that only takes 10 hrs long", and "more epic action games that I swear I played before on the PS2, Xbox, and GC but they swear its new". 

Yea going to be good year.

I'm thinking that by "sci-fi shooter", you're referring to the likes of Halo but I gotta ask, how many Marios, Zeldas, Mario Karts, Metroids, etc have we had again? Nintendo is the king of IP recycling so don't even go there!

holy crap. $1 billion in 1 quarter? wow. Do even Microsoft or Google make that much?

Edit: And I do have to admit I'm getting a little nervous after seeing Nintendo's lineup at E3... I just don't know. they don't seem to care anything about the "old" type of gamer. (Wii Music WTF??!!) I still have yet to get a game, or even have a game that interests me for the Wii. That is not encouraging.

Edit2: For comparison, the entire Sony Corporation made a profit of $418 million in Q1, on total sales of $13.577 billion.



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Haha its funny how whenever I say that people completely ignore it and automatically assume I don't mean Nintendo.  Ya know that arguement is getting pathetic and only used by fanboys.  So can it for once because now its simply annoying and shows how weak you are. 

But yea I never said Nintendo wasn't in that group which obviously shows you agree with what I say about the rest.  Congrats for conceding.  Now I suggest you leave this topic alone before I have to embarass you more.

Nothing in yourpost refers to a fault of nintendo's. Perhaps, if you stated that the plumber saved the princess (he has been saving since I was born) again I would've understood. But alas, you made no reference to that.

Embarass me? Lol. You only have yourself to embarass. I personally don't even like Halo or most sci-fi shooters or wrpgs for that matter but using that as your choice to elevate the wii above the ps360 wasn't on target.

For the record, I don't concede. Its just not in my nature.
