[gngf123]

Motley Fool says a lot of things.

Honestly, the name fits them well.

EDIT: Between this, Gametrailers Bonus Round, and the PG thread, I think I have had enough stupid for one day.

Nintendo Is Making All the Wrong Moves and Throwing Away Its Future

.

 

[Meelow]

"Nobody plays Mario Kart!"

*looks at 34 million sales Mario Kart Wii got*

 

[Soler]

Pay to play?
Is that f2p or? Never heard that used in gaming

 

[massoluk]

Damn fastest way to devalue Mario brand there

 

[Keasar]

Could you imagine a freemium Mario Kart?

 

[Qassim]

In what world does Nintendo get beat by Angry Birds?

Rovio revenue 2012: $195m - 45% of that is toys.

Nintendo beats Rovio's entire yearly revenue with a relatively small single release. They absolutely demolish them with a release like the 30 million unit selling Mario Kart Wii.

Motley Fool says Nintendo should quit making hardware, make Mario Kart pay to play Reply to Thread

A Fool and his money...

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I already pay to play Mario Kart..

 

[Vermillion]

This too.

 

[Corsick]

People say the Wii U needs games to be successful, see a big batch of new games coming out, acknowledge that those games would be awesome on other consoles, then go to say that Nintendo should just go 3rd party even when they know those great games will come to Nintendo's console. I don't get it.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Who the fuck is this.

Also fuck that.

 

[HK-47]

Pay to Play traditionally includes what Nintendo already does since you have to buy the game. Mixing up terms here.

 

[Htown]

Seems legit.

 

[cafemomo]

Who is this guy?

 

[JDSN]

I gotta give it to the media, their dumbass predictions and ignorant comments is what finally motivated Nintendo to create NIntendo Directs, which I love.

 

[Spongebob]

No thanks.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Never heard of him. What a dumb thing to say

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

MK has sold like 60m+ over just three different games (DS, Wii & 3DS), why would Nintendo just give that away? Ridiculous.

 

[Thoraxes]

wut

[SegaManAU]

No thanks!

Wasn't Nintendo's revenue that year like $8 billion? Oh yeah, they should copy Rovio if they want the big bucks.

 

[Oersted]

Seriously, who?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Seems legit.

.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Why should a company like Nintendo give up 30% of the profit for every game sold to Apple?

They'd be lining Apple's pockets when they can make and sustain their own hardware like the 3DS and take home 100% of the profit.

 

[Roo]

I already pay to play Mario Kart..

lmao
10/10

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

So...people say dumb things for clicks and attention.

 

[ASIS]

Seems legit.

Wow NSMB2 is already at 6.5 million? I thought it was deemed a failure or something?

 

[ctothej]

Motley fool also claimed Microsoft won E3 hands down...

 

[serplux]

.

Dat 1982 bump.

 

[M3d10n]

Quickly, someone calculate the ARPPU for one of Nintendo's staple games (including the hardware, since Nintendo also make money on it).

 

[JazzmanZ]

Motley is a fool alright.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Wow NSMB2 is already at 6.5 million? I thought it was deemed a failure or something?

Remember when the 3DS sold like 10 million units in the first year, and there were articles saying "but DS sold 120 million!!" ignoring the DS had eight years or whatever.

NSMB2 was a "failure" because it only sold six million in a year versus the 25 million of the original over six years. Certain people fail at math, this is the way of the world.

 

[clemenx]

I've always loved how Nintendo never lost money during the Game Cube years.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Oh God I remember that. So stupid! So annoying!

Nintendo's 2008/2009 FYs will never cease to amaze me.

 

[dose]

who?

Err this. Why should we be listening to all these people that half of us have not even heard of?

 

[ffdgh]

Well ain't that cute...but it's wrong.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

 

[DashReindeer]

Everything else aside, if Nintendo did get out of the hardware game, why would they go pay-to-play instead of f2p? That would just be throwing away money. I think all of this speculation is dumb as crap.

 

[Exterminieren]

I can't argue with this one.

I mean it, it's literally unarguable. It's so thoroughly wrong-headed in every sense that it's impossible to get a grip on it.

 

[GrayGrey]

Nigga wut

Lmao. This was my exact reaction.
