PhoenixDark said:Sure, they keep raking in profits, but for how long if they continue to have these double digit drops? Face it, the Gamecube severely underpreformed, and Nintendo's handheld marketshare continues to decrease. This does not bode well for the future, especially when you consider the Revolution could have a really hard time selling in the US.
I love Nintendo, but I'm not going to sit around sprouting the same talking points whenever stuff like this happens.

Gahiggidy said:20% is nothing. Sony's SCE division jumps up and down in the hundred's of %...
Oogami said:Well how would you spin the fact that their profits just dropped 21% into good news?

Yes, they sell the most gaming hardware.Oogami said:Yeah but was Nintendo the market leader in the last 10 years and going to remain the same for the next 100 years?
