Redstreak 6,651 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 “Nintendo has picked up good momentum heading into the Christmas season. This time they have a hit lineup. Amiibo represents a new revenue source, and we are watching it very closely.†- Tomoaki Kawasaki, a Tokyo-based a--lyst with Iwai Cosmo Securities Co. - at least eight a--lysts raised profit estimates or ratings since September - the two most recent a--lysts called for profit to triple to 36.8 billion yen - Nintendo projects it will sell 3.6 million Wii U consoles this year - projected to sell $1 billion from Amiibo sales in the U.S. alone. “Last year was just a bad year for the game business, and this year is a recovery. Add to that Amiibo, and you’re likely to see a considerable improvement in earnings. To get hits like the previous Wii and DS, they will have to introduce new machines. In the game business, it’s difficult to change market share except in the periods of generational change. The proliferation curve is decided early on and it’s difficult to alter it mid-flight.†- Hideki Yasuda, an a--lyst at Ace Research Nintendo is expected to TRIPLE its profits :emo: True Queen of Games http://www.gonintendo.com/s/243243-a--lysts-see-nintendo-profits-tripling-nintendo-projects-1-billion-of-amiibo-sold-in-us-alone Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High King 640 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I mean, I got a 3DS and I love it, but let's be real: No one has any interest in Mario anymore, the only good series are Zelda and Pokemon. How long can an entire gaming company rely on just two series? (no offense to Nintendo/Mario fans) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long can an entire gaming company rely on just two series? (no offense to Nintendo/Mario fans) Mario Kart 8 is one of the games that helped push Nintendo up this year. I agree their third party is lacking and they need to pick up the pace, but one of the reasons that Nintendo is doing so well is because of their first party exclusives. You can only find big titles like Mario/Zelda/Pokemon strictly through Nintendo while other big titles are usually multi-plat through Sony/Microsoft/PC Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long can an entire gaming company rely on just two series? (no offense to Nintendo/Mario fans) Well, even if they're still making a lot of games about the Mario universe, they're still popular (New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8). The next Mario Galaxy (or w/e they'll call it :laughmas: ) should do really well too. They do need to get more 3rd party devs though. Man, I can't wait to buy myself a Wii U next year.

GagaDragon 10 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'll only consider buying a Nintendo if they can cater to hardcore gamers. PS4 blows it out of the water!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsn 1,640 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Playstation (which I love also) and Xbox fanboys always drag Nintendo for stupid reasons but they'll always be just fine Though I do wish they'd try to create new iconic characters/games of their own to have a bigger range of characters/games. They did it with Rosalina but she's part of Mario, so I want to see if they can make an entirely new series and have it become big and successful and stand its ground against their already iconic series Splatoon seems okay but I don't think it will become a big stand-out; I think they can do better than that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 No one has any interest in Mario anymore But the Mario games (Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros U, Super Mario 3D Land, etc) are among their top sellers on the respective consoles On-topic: Well to be completely honest I'm not surprised about the tripling considering it was kinda low before Either way they're smashing it out of the ball park now because they big daddies of their console are finally being released This will only continue into next year with more Mario Kart 8 DLC and the new Zelda game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
