Ya, I didn't agree with the purchase price of at launch and their bribe of extra games for their ambassador program didn't set well with me either. I think Nintendo is doing alright though and won't be going anywhere any time soon. Especially if the rumors surrounding the new Xbox are true. And, depending on how much Sony screws up the PS4 launch. :) |

The only thing that would ruin the ps4 launch for me is 1) digital only games and 2) continuing with that controller. |

Then I heard about this: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/04/end-of-an-era-many-wii-online-services-shutting-down-in-june/ It looks as though they're preparing to phase out the Wii entirely. With poor Wii U sales and a lukewarm response to the 3DS, I seriously wonder about the future of Nintendo... Newsflash: Earthbound ain't gonna save your hide, Nintendo, especially if you're relying on the Wii U to sell copies. ::) --- End quote --- i tell this to anyone thats worried about nintendo's future, there is a report from a tech analyst and it said that nintendo could lose money on all of there console's for the next 47 years and still have enough money to not only run as a business but also to make at least two new game's and console's, nintendo has just hit a bit of a bumpy road thats gonna smooth it self out at E3 --- End quote --- Sadly, most businesses do not work solely on if you have money to keep the lights on. Nintendo hasn't been able to work like this since 1962... when they went public. Nintendo staying the course has less to do with how long they can turtle and more to do with making stockholders happy. They have been fairly transparent on this with all of the 3DS stuff. If Nintendo continues to lose money, their stock loses value. Stockholders will demand changes. And unfortunately the stockholders run/own the company. Nintendo has had to adjust quarterly figures too many times in a row. This makes people nervous. It's the same reason that Sony announced the PS4 just at the end of the fiscal year. It's about the backers. But I agree to not be worried about Nintendo's position. I think they know their market well and are serving that market well. I honestly think they know what they are doing and how to keep the stockholders happy. |

I seriously doubt this will affect the price of physical copies, if people want to just play the game now its easy enough for free. It's collectors that drive the price up and greed from demand. The price for Guardian Heroes hasn't changed since xbla |
