As for ROMs themselves and having a 'backup':

Microsoft's purchase of Rare was definitely the best thing to happen to it.

I don't want to get into a debate or anything but I just want to say that although Russia has these anti-gay laws in place, they are blown way out of proportion by the western media. Putin has even said he welcomes gay people to attend/compete (and why shouldn't he since the law people are talking about only prohibits the promotion of homosexuality to minors?). And on top of that, while we in the west may disagree with these laws and views on homosexuality, the Russian people generally support it. http://www.theguardi...nto-putin-hands
 
Anyway, at the end of the day this is all politics and shouldn't come into sports or in Nintendo's case, business.

This is like the 4th version of this topic that you've made when we already have a perfectly good one. ._.

What a way to miss the point.

 

No company can afford a failed product, if the Wii U fails, then it will paint a damning verdict of what the consumer thinks of Nintendo's latest home console and the fact that Iwata has allegedly said that Nintendo will be basing their next home console around the architecture worries me greatly. If the consumer doesn't want what Nintendo is offering with the Wii U, why is Nintendo allegedly planning their next console on the blue print of the Wii U?

 

You're right that the Xbox brand has never made a profit thus far, it has cost Microsoft a lot of money and there have been some people within Microsoft i.e. Co-founder Paul Allen who have called for the sale of the Xbox Division. Though the Xbox One is reportedly making Microsoft a $27 profit on every unit sold and that's without Xbox Live subscription and games being taken into account.

 

Where you are mistaken with Microsoft is that the games industry is not their bread and butter, they are a diverse company and don't need to be in the industry in order to survive.

 

The same applies to Sony, they are another diverse company, though you are right, Sony is not in the best place financially and will take more than a successful console to turn their fortunes around.

 

Nintendo out of the big three relies heavily on the games industry, they make consoles and games, that's what they do and if Nintendo continue to lose money then they're going to run into problems further down the line. Nintendo needs its hardware to be successful, if its hardware isn't selling then it's software won't sell either and they'll continue to post losses in the future.

 

Not even the success of the 3DS can paper over the cracks.

 

Whether you like it or not, posting three straight fiscal losses in a row doesn't make for good reading, irrespective of how much money is in the businesses bank account. It's an indicator that the company's products are not bringing in the money and that should be cause for swift action.

The Video Game crash of 2014?

CRAP!!!!! When they finally decide to release it, I am on a vacation! This sucks a lot.

Ah. That kind how I feel about the wii and wii u. It's. Kids system. There aren't to many adult type games.
The wii ended up getting flooded with Disney kid games.
And the wii u seems to be going down that route also.
I have said it tons of tomes before, Nintendo is marketing towards kids and families. They are not the ones that by games tho.
They aren't the ones that go to midnight release and stand outside in the cold for a game.
That's what sells and Nintendo just isn't pushing it as that.
 
So yea devs pass up Nintendo and move to ps and Xbox.

My code is 5455-9612-0316. So, just post your 3ds frieend code. I'll register you.

Just name a pokemon in the comments and we'll see if we can name all 700 and something. By the way you can only post one pokemon a day.

A link between worlds is really good. It is almost as good as link to the past.(Puts flame shield up)

I don't like how there's so many unobtainable Pokemon until Poke Bank is released. Seems pretty stupid to me.

I agree. There are so many people asking for something you can't even obtain yet on the gts.
