Nintendo continues rampant pwnage

Despite the constant expectations of the demise of the Wii and its "casual gamers" who never buy video games, Nintendo tripled their first half profit, and now forecasts an 86% improvement over last year.


Unlike other console manufacturers, they have no need, and no plans, to cut prices for Christmas.

The juggernaut continues...

Why cut prices on something no one can even get before they sell out of shelves anyway? Good for Nintendo, the price started out right so there's no need to adjust it.

Nintendo is really stepping it up and i'm impressed. Maybe in the future they're release a new system... not just for the casual gamer and return Nintendo to the glory it had back in the 90ies? That'd be pretty sweet!

Since we all know they'll probably have a new system out in 2009 :P

BetterOffDead loves playing with their D-key!
I've been out of the console world since the N64 the main game I played for it was Goldeneye. I purchased a Wii months ago, just because they seemed to have all the "novelty" type qualities of the NES and I wanted to be able to play along with my wife.

Its almost level playing ground playing with her on the Wii. She enjoys them as much as I do and can many times own me in Wii sports. I've also go her hooked on Guitar Hero which we will be buying GH3 for the Wii soon as well. The first person shooters that I play on PC are just too fast paced and complicated for her and besides that, it would require me to build her an near equally powerful PC and a second copy of each game just so we could play together.

If I can play all the high end over the top graphics type games on my PC, then why would I need an expensive PS3 or 360? The Wii is priced right and innovative. I really hope Nintendo keeps pwning the market and serves as an example for future gaming systems.

Also, I should note that you may not use this code in your own applications. If you want to reduce a variable by 89, you'll have to find another way to do it.
