Nintendo doubles profits.

Firingsquad: But nobody over the age of 12 cares anyway. Amazing that in Q2 2003 only 80,000 GameCubes were shipped.

Wow I used to like firingsquad.com but that was quite harsh and unobjective by a gaming site. Atleast they got flamed by their own users.

Well, we could write a petiton.

OMG --- It's for teh HARDCORE g4m3rs !!111
HARDCORE in yellow !!!

It's over, sell your GameCubes to people under the age of 12 ...

 

[Memles]

I wasn't aware people under the age of 12 were able to buy shares in Nintendo.

 

[Catchpenny]

That site is the slobbering mongoloid love child of Evil Avatar and Tom's Hardware. Yuck.

 

[Gattsu25]

Maybe I should read their articles more often :b

 

[B E N K E]

Stupid joke. Kids don't want the Gamecube.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Let me be the first to say it:
Doo...uh, I meant, Who the fuck is Firing Squad?

 

[Ristamar]

Jakub is a bit of an XBOX fanboy. I had guessed it was his story/comment before I even clicked the link. I'm not saying that to dismiss the news, but his slant is blatantly obvious to anyone who has read his features and editorials in recent years.

 

[Wario64]

Some site that Thresh used to write for (unless he's still writing). Thresh = some dude that's good at Quake and stuff.

 

[ravingloon]

I've been weening myself off of firingsquad lately. The news articles are complete crap and usually littered with inaccuries. It used to be an awesome site when Thresh was running it, but it's really bottomed. I trust benchmarks more than Tom's Hardware (Another "Don't get me started"), but that's about all it's good for these days.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Let me be the first to say it:

What the fuck is Quake?

 

[Justin Bailey]

No doubt, Lamecube is so teh kiddie. Us grown-ups don't like games with bright colors.

 

[SantaC]

Yeah but Thresh left long ago. He started up the site though.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Let me be the first to say it:

What the fuck is Quake?

*turns over the rock, and speaks*

Um ID Softwares FPS after doom

*replaces rock*

 

[Sho Nuff]

Gaemcube lineup is vary mature!!!! etarnal darkness!!!

 

[GaimeGuy]

Gaemcube lineup is vary mature!!!! etarnal darkness!!!

Actually, ED is probably one of the most "mature" games out there. Remember, the rating of "M" refers to what the GAMER should be.

 

[Sho Nuff]

its ok my mom plays with me

 

[jarrod]

How dare they! Lets all rush to a messageboard and whine about it!

Got a problem with message board cristicism? Or just when other people do it?

 

[Li Mu Bai]

I'm over 12, & I care. Thereby making this article blatantly inaccurate & false.

Well the article is based on another article. It is the spin that you do not agree with.

 

[DSN2K]

12 year olds play GameCube ?

most play PS2 and GTA.

Let me be the first to say:
Uh, wTF is doom?

 

[Chrono]

edit: never mind =\

 

[Prince of Space]

Let me be the first to say:
Uh, wTF is doom?

And while we're at it, what the fuck is WTF?

 

[dog$]

Anyone with common sense would not prefer Mario Sunshine to a game that actually plays well, violence or lack thereof

 

[jarrod]

Anyone with common snese would realize that Mario Sunshine at least plays well despite whatever overall design flaws.

 

[Guileless]

That site is the slobbering mongoloid love child of Evil Avatar and Tom's Hardware. Yuck.

Just what are you implying about slobbering mongoloid love children?

 

[Li Mu Bai]

Well the article is based on another article. It is the spin that you do not agree with.

I'm sure the Nikkei & Nintendo's investors care. The "spin" is fanboyish & bias, & has no place on a "supposedly" credible gaming media site.

Strange how he fails to mention that Nintendo initially grossly overshipped by a few million units in Q1, & therefore stores possessed huge GC surpluses, so the demand obviously was not there.

 

[Rhindle]

I say we march on the Capitol and burn some effigees.

 

[thom]

Stupid joke. Kids don't want the Gamecube.

haha

It's true, I dont know any kids that play gamecube.

 

[Date of Lies]

2007: Microsoft doubles Xbox profits from last year: 2$ net worth, up from 1$.

Everyone over the age of 12 cares.

 

[Li Mu Bai]

I've got my pitchfork rhindle, lead the way.

 

[Tenguman]

Anyone remember when it was called "Thresh's Firingsquad"?

 

[The Faceless Master]

WTF is Thresh?

IAWTP

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Kids 12 & under don't play the GC. The actual GC demographic is 16-50 year old men & women who don't mind playing games on a purple lunch box .

 

[djtiesto]

WTF is Thresh?

Some Asian dude who's good at Quake... one of my friends at school used to worship him, so we all made fun of him for that.

was that an intentional spelling mistake for this Nintendo thread?

 

[Mustang]

Get over it and move on.

You all will feel much better.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

No.

Actually, it was the GC oddly enough.

 

[dog$]

Hey thanks for bringing this thread back LiMuBai I was wondering what happened to it.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

okay. if you guys go to that link and have you mouse over the word "console" in the article. Its actually a link to some free xbox thing. And you wonder why they worded this article the way they did.

 

[Firest0rm]

Actually, it was the GC oddly enough.

And due to stronger software sales if I recall correctly.
