14:00 but it's Pokémon Sun & Moon, not NX *runs*

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/11/21/wii-u-becomes-profitable-after-one-games-sale Worked well then :p

Diminishing the reserves is not a valid factor. Plus those reserves have been dented by Nintendo's expansion and their necessity in buying back the Yamauchi shares. Nintendo can theoretically take a loss, but doing so would hinder the future. If they said "Oh, we can sell this at a loss because we have the war chest", then the CEO should be fired. Agreed, and with Animal Crossing mobile linking into the Animal Crossing games (according to what they've said), it is a prime example of using Mobile titles to push people into the dedicated platform. I just wonder if it'll link into New Leaf via the new update or through a NX launch game :p

But it has New Super Mario Bros graphics :p

Is it though? All evidence points to Miitomo not making much money, and Pokémon GO's money mostly goes to TPC and Niantic

Oh absolutely. Nintendo are expanding, what with amiibo, licensing, Universal Studios, movies and mobile. There's no doubt, and that may be able to offset things in the future, but they aren't there yet.

Yep. Sony & Microsoft could because they're huge media conglomerates, so they could take the hit on their devices. Hell, that's part of why many Microsoft execs have been pushing to drop the Xbox brand in years past, because all it did was drain finances, it didn't add profit until what, 2009? Even then it hasn't made up for the loss it took. Same with the huge loss of the PS3. It's not a viable business strategy. Nintendo on the other hand are pure games. They are now expanding, but they still cannot take a huge hit if they can't offset it somehow, and with the NX not being a guaranteed success, they wouldn't be able to entirely offset it with third party licensing and they're not likely to charge for online either People criticised Nintendo's first financial loss, but they didn't take into account that the majority of the loss was because the 3DS took off and sold 11 million units in that financial year at a significant loss. That loss was because the 3DS was finally a success, not because it had floundered. Despite Nintendo's bad times the last two years, they've even been able to make a profit, which shows that Nintendo know what they're doing. It's not ideal, but it's probable that the NX may be a little bit "overpriced" so they can actually make a profit, and it just be a moderate success, and that's fine...things don't need to break records.

Yep, even though it's completely justified based on portability etc., people don't see things like that and just see price. Nintendo have to nail this, nail the reveal, nail the price, nail the marketing

Word is that over 20 million people have signed up for the notification of it going live. Impressive.

Assuming not sarcasm, not a problem :p Of course now I've had to deal with people who think Alolan Vulpix is event only -_-

I think a price that high is both likely and risky. Considering the tech we're looking at for a portable device, it makes sense, but it may not take off in ways they'd want like the Wii did and like the 3DS did post-pricecut

The absence of any sign of the Pokkén Tournament Championship Series is making me think an enhanced NX port is on the cards. The game on Wii U sold over a million units, which is really good for a game like this. They'd be mad not to do another

New character announced, not that it seems anyone cares :p

From what I understand with how it worked with XY and ORAS, it was just two weeks before launch

So, new Pokémon Silvadi, the evolution of Type: Null Normal-type, ability is AR System, which changes its type to the type of a special item if held. Has a move, Multi Attack, that also changes type. Jarango, the evolution of Jangmo-o. Dragon/Fighting-type Jararanga, the evolution of Jararanga. Dragon/Fighting-type

To be fair, I wasn't trying to do the nyah nyah, I was trying to build hype because something may finally be happening :/ I guess I went about it the wrong way.

was told things by separate people who I trust and haven't steered me wrong which all matched up, then got told something different by another who I also trust so now I don't know what to believe

The covering my ass because I heard something else that contradicts what I heard :p

Ok I won't. I probably got trolled anyway haha

That would be telling

You'll see

Meh, all these fakes are crazy Ah well. Before the week is over, all shall be clear

November 19th

Yeah but that was due to shoddy porting. The Wii U was in fact more powerful than the 360 and PS3. Just because multiplatform games ran worse does not mean it wasn't more powerful
