The fucking madman

>>382180452
How are assets calculated in regards to game IPs?

The Legend of Zelda brand itself is an asset, so how do they asses this? Or is it not calculated at all?

Nintendo is on life support. It's time to pull the switch and let them fade out.

>Debt has increased by 82 billion yen

Holy shit they're that much in the red? Bankruptcy when?

I like this venture of IP support and promotion.

Hopefully they realise this when it comes to metroid, they're counting on new fans of the series not old fat neckbeards/

Drama aside it is a bit odd, for decades the operated without taking on any debt at all. Seems weird that they would start now when they are rolling in money.

Fact: Console and Handheld sales have constantly declined since the NES and Gameboy other than Wii/DS.

Nintendo is dying but their autistic fanbase buying McDonalds toys and Rom boxes are slowing the process.

>>382180452
This was from back in March man, you're way late

>>382182912
Nintendo has enough money to last through 40 years of WiiU like failures before they have to start selling off IPs

>>382183459
The sales data being discussed is from March, but the shareholders meeting is current.

>>382182912
Personally I don't have problem with Nintendo producing happy meal toys for their Leapfrog tablet but only if they can ensure bunch of 1st and 3rd games will be available a few weeks after the launch of their console.

Too bad Nintendo is all about nostalgia pandering, overpricing a game that should've come together with Switch to introduce their motion control gimmick, muh nip pride, and many more stupid shit that angers their fanbase.

>>382181712

>>382183160
GBC is part of the Gameboy gen just like the New3DS is part of the 3DS, so no its a fact.

>>382183401
>Nintendo would already be dead if their braindead fanbase would not buy their overpriced plastic toys.
Correct.

>>382183467
The 3DS was the crutch that did hold nintendos head over the water. A pure WiiU gen would have sunk them

>>382183576
Why are they talking about months old data

BotW is probably 5 million sales on Switch by now, considering the console should have sold 6 million by this time. That's not including the fact that the game has probably sold another million on Wii U as well.

Q12: Any chances shareholders can get advance tickets or fast passes at Super Nintendo World?

"No"

"But mommy...please?? I bought 20 shares of Nintendo..."

>>382180452
>Miyamoto: We hold the Kirby IP and it’s growing in Europe. It’s selling in Spain; watched in places without game hardware. We want to make anime for Pikmin, Star Fox, Yoshi, etc. and distribute it freely, or integrate into games.

>Q11: (translator) Looking at balance sheet, we have 1 trillion yen in cash. How do you utilize that?

>Q8: Looking forward to Nintendo World at USJ. Are there any similar offers from overseas parks?

>Kimishima: We already reached understanding with Universal Studios and a US attraction is underway. Miyamoto is in charge of this.

>>382183759
>GBC is part of the Gameboy gen just like the New3DS is part of the 3DS, so no its a fact.
Not when 75% of games released after were GBC exclusives.

>Kimishima: We give to our shareholders through dividends. Shareholders (indiv/corp) want rewards in different ways. Will look into it.
Where did he say no? Also, these are not small time investors, they are significant owners of stock.

>>382183809
>That's not including the fact that the game has probably sold another million on Wii U as well.
Yeah no fuck you, most intelligent people that still had a wii u by the time botw released hacked it and pirated zelda, like hell I'm gonna give nintendo more money after how they handled shit.
I will only get a switch when it gets homebrew.

>>382182912
>Fact: Console and Handheld sales have constantly declined since the NES and Gameboy other than Wii/DS.

You do realize that that "decline" also correlates directly with the increase in competition of other hardware developers, right? When the NES was the only console, of course that's what everyone bought. It's profits that point to company health, not necessarily unit sales.

I'm not saying the GC or Wii U were not failures (they were), but people touting that retarded chart without context is just false-flagging at this point. To say nothing about being flat-out wrong about the handheld sales.

>>382184082
lmao so Mario confirmed for olympics? Are they going to introduce e-sports in olympics through Smash Bros. too?

>>382184106
>Not when 75% of games released after were GBC exclusives.
What? You make no sense.

>>382184138
I was only Joking

>>382184239
NES sold 60 million, literally every single PlayStation console outsold it, if it was increased competition then how the fuck did Sony get more sales than the NES

More like people were smarter than to fall for the Nintendo meme again

>>382184368
75% of games for the Game Boy line released after the launch of the Game Boy Color could only be played on the Game Boy Color.

>>382184239
>without context
And how does the decline in console sales changes with context? It does not matter since the reasons will not just vanish.

>To say nothing about being flat-out wrong about the handheld sales.
Stop bullshiting.

>>382182332
>Nintendo is a piece of right wing garbage

>>382184193

Not a lot of new information. Anime for Pikmin? Sounds a bit odd.

>>382183809
Because it's the data for last fiscal year. The first quarter of this fiscal year has yet to end, so they're not reporting that data yet. They'll report the April to June data in July.

You're thinking on a flawed premise:

That the amount of customers remained the same over a 20 year period.

If you use that as your starting point you think that the chart only shows a drastic collapse and contraction of market penetration, but that was not the case.

The number of customers increased as the gaming industry developed. Of course the PS1 is going to sell more, there were millions of more customers interested in gaming in 1994 versus 1983.

What I am saying is that it is a fallacy to think the decline in sales figures represents this drastic collapse, when instead it reflects part of the organic growth of the entire market. I am not even denying that Nintendo made lots of business mistakes going into the 90s - they did. But people parrot sales figures without understanding the context.

>>382184956
Same as with the Wii and WiiU, eh?

>>382185354

>>382181296

Basic business. They place massive orders for things like unit production or software from other companies that don't require payments for a year in advance. Even if they can pay it right away, there's no reason too if there's no interest.

>Miyamoto: I participated in Rabbids PR/special presentation. Tons of attention towards Nintendo; seems PC didn’t have as much this year.
MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!

>>382186192
People who can't buy the system yet bought the game so they can have it when they get a system.

Unless Nintendo busts skulls to get Switch production up, expect the same thing to happen with Splatoon 2.

>>382186192
+100% attach rate.

Considering that people barely can buy the damn console it seems that they are just buying the game and waiting for getting one.

>>382186192

This speaks volumes about the zelda fanbase.

>>382186889

Stuff like Mario galaxy still sold units like 3 years later, also splatoon keep on charts for like a year or so on japan.

>>382180452
>3DS sales surpassed 66 million

Is this supposed to be some sort of accomplishment? The thing has been out over six years and has had a dozen iterations and still managed to sell less than the Game Boy Advance series.

>>382187041
They're just reporting the numbers.

>>382187041
Its not that bad when you consider they recovered from a terrible, nearly DOA launch year.

>>382180452
The fact that BOTW has a 100%+ install rate on the Switch is pretty hilarious.
The Switch is so completely barren for games right now that one game is basically equivalent to the entire console.

>>382187317
Big Nintendo titles always have a massive attach rates in comparison to what the competitors have. I think more than one in two Wii U owners had Mario Kart 8 bringing the total sales over 7 million despite the Wii U having sold less than 14 million.

>>382187312
The point still stands.

>>382187317

That 100%+ does indeed say more about the Switch launch line-up than the game itself.

So, can we finally end this "piracy kills consoles!" meme? The 3DS has been a success despite piracy being possible since like 2013. The Wii U has been a failure, despite piracy only becoming possible within the past year and a half. And it still sold over a million copies of it's swan song game despite it being the premier launch title for the new hyped console. The Wii was a success, despite easy piracy for most of it's lifespan. Sony's Vita was a failure, despite piracy not being possible until this past year. If anything, history shows that piracy fucking helps consoles.

How would you make a show based on a Nintendo IP? Mario silent shorts where shenangans occur through the Mushroom Kingdom?

>>382189448
People are sick and tired of their bullshit business practices that are anti-consumer or drag down what would have been a perfectly good product.

>>382189640
They're still selling the wii-u at full price despite the system being a full blown failure. Price does not equal quality.

>>382189448

Their software is good, but they're held back by sub-par hardware. The best scenario for a gamer is if Nintendo stops doing hardware and releases their games on all other platforms. Can you imagine how BotW would look and run on a PS4/Xbox One/PC, if Nintendo didn't have to worry about making it work on a hardware that was already outdated in 2008~?

>>382189448
It's more about the attitude they treat their fanbase with, as well as being overly protective with their IPs(e.g. taking down free fangames)

>>382189681

Your venomous tongue needs to be clenansed with a hot iron.

>>382189342
But it seems like every platform with piracy has been successful, and every one that did have it in recent memory is a failure. The only exceptions arguably are the Dreamcast (which, the jury is still out on whether or not piracy killed it. Personally, I don't think so, because at the time, not everyone had broadband internet or a CD burner, not everyone knew what piracy even was, etc) and the PSP (which was relatively a hardware sales success, but primarily because ever bought one specifically for piracy/portable emulation, so software sales were shit)

I want an anime based on a Nintendo game, it doesn't even matter if it's bad. They could hire the people who made the Kid Icarus shorts, those were good.

>>382190332
kirby? pokemon? f-zero?

>>382190024

But there's a case to be made for a $249 piece of hardware that is also a multimedia machine and can emulate modern games pretty well. Of course said games look and run better on PC, but you can't build one for $249. Nintendo hardware costs $300, is less powerful than the competition and has nothing to offer other than portability, but no functional human being plays full-sized games on the go, they have small experiences on phones already. Phones that do many other things as well, you won't see a nirmal adult carrying a phone and a Switch around, except for very long trips.

>>382190029

Are you retarded? They're already a public company, they already have to answer suits, things would be the same.

>>382189342
But there are, one of the reasons that the Ps2 sell so much was because how easy to pirate it was.

>>382190998

Who would say no to a Nintendo game on their platform? Who would say "nah, change your game"? They don't do that with any other games. I'm not saying Nintendo should become a first party company for Sony or Microsoft, I'm saying they should become like Rockstar is today. Whenever they release a game, it becomes a phenomenon not held back by idiotic hardware design or gimmicks.

A minor one that only mattered if you lived in a shithole that wouldn't be able to get the games otherwise. The two biggest factors to PS2 selling out the ass is 1) DVD player and 2) hardware power and software support blew the Dreamcast out the fucking water so hard it put Sega right where it always belonged: sucking Sony's big idea-stealing dick

PS2 piracy was big in both France, Italy and Spain when I was in high school. I remember everyone shipping theirs to play PES 5.

Oh god please no. I bet they're going to have some lame shit like "remember to take a break after visiting Bowser's Castle :)" or "make sure your body is ready before boarding the ride"

I hope when you use the restrooms at the park the toilets make the authentic pipe warping sound when you flush.

BotW is already the most ambitious game in decades, what the fuck more do you want?

All those fucking great games to pirate on the PS2 and you europeans chose to play sports games.

The only thing remarkable about the PS2 is how little profit it made. Any idiot can sell DVD players with a mod chip.

>>382185015
>>the best selling home console of all time didn't achieve anything remarkable
well sony did burn all the profit the best selling console of all times did on the ps3
all of it

I feel like it's mostly in part to the Wii U's failure.

And yet Sony made more money just on PSN in 2016 than Nintendo made on EVERYTHING

>>382197435
It made more revenue than all of Nintendo combined, that's not very hard when you're a retailer. For every $60 that gets spend on PSN Sony has to pay back $40 to the publisher. Meanwhile in terms of actual profits it's 88.7 billion yen vs. 32.8 billion yen.

The only reason Uncharted 4 sold as much was because it was bundled for Yurop

Seriously, why would you care about sales figures and corporation share prices unless you were the blindest kind of rabid fanboy?

>The NES saved the industry on the other hand.

I like how persistent this story has become, especially as in the UK, nobody cared about Nintendo at all. They sold the NES in drugstores, and nobody wanted it because home computers had full control of a healthy market.

Most Wii U owners never pirated their games. Piracyfags are always pretending they're more important than they really are. Most gamers can and always will buy their games legally

>>382189125
And here I thought Nintendo fanboys were the autistic ones.

Damn Sonnygers

>>382199042
Japan and America are and always have been the largest consumers of video games. Unless you keep a firm hold on those two markets, it doesn't matter if Europeans buy your stuff. Sega always had strong support in Europe, but as soon they could no longer keep a strong presence in the JP or NA regions they pulled out.

Metroid Dread for the 3DS in 2019?

>>382189823
>Sub-par hardware

I think people who say this either have no clue how the game industry works or are applying PC logic. The video game industry has never been about the power or progression of hardware along strict linear lines. It has always been about cost,marketing and game quality.

I could literally create a new console that was only 16 bits and as long as I secured enough good exclusive software, had good meme marketing and made it an affordable price aimed at a clear demographic who had the money to buy it, I could still turn a profit. Time and again Nintendo and other companies have proven this. Impressive hardware didn't save the 3DO, it didn't save the Dreamcast and it didn't help the PSP/Vita overthrow the DS/3DS
