HYPE

TOO HYPED?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

My response: Goddamnit. Two reasons

1. I have class at Noon Eastern time. I'm not one to skip class anyway, but i especially need to show up to this one. The classroom in question is in the basement of a building, so the WiFi signal doesn't reach down there. So no lookey for me until at least 12:50
2. My promise to not get hyped it is slowly being broken down and destroyed by the relentless hype-mongers of the internet.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

You guys are too good to me. Now bleed you bastards, bleed for my amusement!

I think a twisted little part of me would be disappointed if Nintendo actually did manage to shut up the whiners. That tiny piece would be crushed by the joy of wonderful games, but still...
