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

chapset on 30 July 2008

maybe they'll send a chek of 30$ to everyone who bought a wii to say thank you



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

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!

 

 

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.

 

 

Ooh got a little fight in ya.  I like that. 

And no nothing in my post did refer to Nintendo's.  Also nothing in my post said I that I wasn't refering to Nintendo's.  Don't assume. 

 

And no I wasn't using those example as a way to elevate the Wii.  I was simply agreeing to what you were looking forward to.  And if they were both sarcastic then it seems I was taking down both.  Once again you are really bad at this game.  But I like that.

Add to that the fact that a majority of the wii's hardcore really only wan't sequels to nintendo 's top franchises then you have a mess as a third party dev.

 

Sounds like bullshit to me.

I think Pristine20 was just playing Wii Bingo with us... ironically, a pretty casual and old game.

Perhaps a bonus, but probably not a raise. Nintendo is a fiscally conservative company, I imagine that would extend to their remuneration policies.

I'd rate myself better than you

On topic, you specifically mentioned PS360 so you clearly stated what you were referring to so don't act like it was some mystery meant for Sherlock.

I like that you keep playing the game as well.

 If you have nothing to substantiate your post, don't refer to mine as "bullshit'. All the nintendo games released on wii for the hardcore are sequels. What does that tell you?

@Pristine20: You keep sidestepping and creating strawmen arguments. Zucas never said Nintendo is immune to the problem he was talking about.

If I say "A is a murderer", that doesn't mean B and C aren't.
