Redstreak 6,651 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yesterday we learned from the Wall Street Journal that a--lysts predicted $63 million in profits for Nintendo's second quarter, or July 1 - September 30. As it turns out, Nintendo actually did much better than that. Nintendo's second quarter financial report lists the company's six month total (April - September) at a net profit of ¥14.3 billion, or about $132 million. When you factor in that Nintendo lost $90 million in quarter one, that means they gained around $222 million in quarter two, or nearly four times what they were expected to gain! Insane! http://www.gamnesia.com/news/nintendo-generated-over-220-million-in-profits-in-q2#.VFFmfPldWSo Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefJAGermanotta 2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 That's really awesome to hear! I appreciate the Wii U so much, as it's the only backwards compatible next gen system, and frankly, they have really great games now. We need a new metroid prime. Fortunately, I heard that it's impossible for Nintendo to ever go out of business since they have such a huge surplus yet low overhead compared to Sony, which has so much bloat. I'm hoping the Xbox One sales will improve and Sony to get out of its debt. If consoles keep making tons of money, we will always have great games.

xKorix 156 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think this Holiday is gonna be huge. Nobody really spoke about it last year but Wii U was actually killing last holiday and easily kept up with PS4 and Xbox One. This year it will be cheaper and with more games(5 major releases).

Chromatislaps 34,562 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Zelda looks so bad The rest are vapor ware Does it? you're pretty ignorant on games, if you think games are all about graphics, Still millions of people buy these games! There are countless good looking games, but with horrible gameplay/mechanics... I rather play a game that looks okay, but has excellent gameplay. your loss Zelda would only be worse if they conformed to the need of Graphic wh0res. A hyper-realistic Zelda could never work, cartoonest/cellshaded/stylized games work better for those type of games unless Nintendo can prove me wrong.
