@kiwitalkz It’s also crazy to think that it was the first new game Retro put out in over 11 years. It’s sad but the studio has been a sunk cost for a while unless profit from the Switch ports of their DK games were enough to make up for the $ to keep their lights on for a decade.
@the_wiggleroom@garlane15@CultureCrave@business The better way to think of it is that the console manufacturers get a 30% licensing fee if every third party game sold on their platform. That is free profit from games you did not spend any money to make. They don’t want less people spending money on PS.
@CommanderRedEXE @KirPinkFury Sell in numbers is always what has been reported and discussed since the NES. Why do you guys act like Deen has made some revolutionary discovery?
@Kereke125@HatingIsASport I definitely would have liked to have seen the Wii U be actually somewhat successful. Even to the level of the 64 would have been better and much less depressing. Marketing was definitely a huge factor but sadly there were other problems it was up against.
@CommanderRedEXE@AnAverageGamerX@SWizzy155484 Loss in stock value does not affect Nintendo’s bank account. Companies don’t put stock price challenges on their balance sheets as it is not THEIR money. Stock prices also shoot up and fall down all the time.
@lukecagg@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum He’s a Nintendeen fan so he doesn’t get it. He also blocked me because he couldn’t take the heat of actually being called out on it lol.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum You didn’t have to cite Nintendeen. I just recognized that stupid argument lol. Sell in being reported is nothing new yet he acts like his third eye has been opened and the rest of us don’t understand it. We do. It just never mattered before.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum So you watch Nintendeen lol.
Sell in is where Nintendo makes their money and is ALWAYS what they have reported. People have only recently made a big deal about that distinction for some reason 🤔.
Also PS4 outsold Switch 1 multiple months in 2017 and 2018.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum Nah they’re being fickle. There’s reports that Switch 2 has already sold at least 15 million units and they have a movie this spring. November was rough for hardware in the US across the board but there’s rough tracking that suggests sales are already better in Dec.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum They’ll report profit for the quarter in February. Bookmark this post. They don’t even focus on stock prices in their accounting reports, as they go up and down all the time and are based on vibes of fickle investors who panic over headlines.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum I know they’ve reported profit for the first half of this fiscal year and all indicators point to them hitting their 19 mil Switch 2 projections. Stock prices go up and down all the time and it’s not even something that really gets focused on in their financial reports.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum When did I say that? I’m just pushing back at the notion that the profit they made was negated over stock prices taking a hit. They’re gonna report a profit at the next financial meeting and investors will be happy with that.
@JasonKieffer1@wariocolosseum Um, profit and the stock price value are 2 completely different things. Investors panic selling stocks does not drain any money from Nintendo’s bank account.
@ShadowFoxArche@Grimpachi_@AnAverageGamerX As someone who watched the video, I can tell you they were very balanced and explicitly stated that a lot of the people hating Nintendo are in a bubble and the actually data points to it still being more mainstream for everyday people to still like Nintendo
