I guess the number of consoles sold for Nintendo can explain the major loses they've been posting in the last few quarters.
Look, if the stock doesn't rebound and the loses continue there will have to be a shakeup. Don't assume that because Nintendo was on top for so long that it is immune to becoming irrelevant. Look at Kodak, AOL, IBM, RIM, etc. Being on top doesn't mean you assume that you'll stay on top if you can't change with the times.
Nintendo is going to be left behind. The world of gaming has moved leaps and bounds from the "old days" of gaming. I wonder how long before they become a software-only company.
I just cancelled my pre-order. $150 to start was pushing it. Now with limited functionality? I'll wait until next year after the price drop and when it's actually feature complete.
In elementary school, spinning around three times in the pitch dark in the bathroom, saying "Bloody Mary" 3 times then staring into a mirror and seeing the outline of my distorted reflection thanks to my head spinning. Gotta love school dares.
