Title: Mouse_Clicker, I'm calling you out
Post by: Shift Key on June 05, 2007, 02:21:13 AM
We may have all been a bit naive back in 2003 but this one is a surprise. Let us revel in the nostalgia.
Quote Even if they were pouring all of their profit from Windows into the XBox, they wouldn't for long- Microsoft didn't get to be the richest corporation on the face of the earth by pumping money into something that won't return, and you don't make more money by throwing what you have away. If the XBox doesn't start making money, Microsoft will drop it, simple as that- it has nothing to do with how much profit they're getting from other divisions.

He may have still been right - isn't MS's play with the XBox line that they're not planning to make money until the 3rd generation in? Perhaps after they've lost money *next* gen, then they'll drop out?

Mario will be moved to March or August, Metroid to November and Smash to December, VC will take care of the post-christmas/summer droughts from now on.

More embarrassing quotes (this is fun!):

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. At first glance, I thought it was supposed to be pronounced as the Nintendo "Why?" (as in, Why Bother). But the Nintendo Wee? That's even worse.
I would say this is possibly the worst decision Nintendo has ever made. Worse than carts. Worse than the purple lunchbox Cube design. It doesn't even fit the appearance of the system (at least "StarCube" matched the overall "gayness" of the Cube's design, and then "GameCube" improved on it).
I think Nintendo's only hope right now is to call it the "WII" or the "W2".
Quote Originally posted by: Smash_Brother Nintendo was so, SO close to being able to recapture segments of the market which had long since abandoned them for being too childish. Red Steel was a colossal step in the right direction, but now THIS?
People who were on the fence would have taken a chance with a "Rev". They're NOT going to take a chance with a "wee". "Let's play some wee games!" "I can't way to go home and play with my wee!"
Quote Originally posted by: Artimus Horrible choice. Fatal mistake.
I guess Ian is right, Nintendo refuses to actually do things right. They had to go and shoot their faces off.
This system WILL flop with this name. It has to be changed, or it's over.
MORONS. Get real, Reggie, this is a bigger mistake than any in Nintendo's history.

I'm surprised I haven't been blackmailed with anything yet. I tend to plant my foot firmly in my mouth.

What podcast was it that called me stupid for getting to GameStop an hour early to reserve a Wii?

Quote There may be a shortage of PS3s but it will steal the limelight with a strong marketing blitz and hype. You are not going to sell people a Wii for 250$ when the PS3 marketing is at full throttle and released 2 days prior. They had a chance to steal some of the thunder but now the Wii will be overshadowed by PS3 whether it be the shortage news or Sony's own marketing. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this will haunt Nintendo more so than you can imagine (Only 50$ cheaper than an Xbox 360 is not a good thing either, the average gamer may just spring for an Xbox 360 once you get up to that price).
