Thanks pokemon go
Maybe they should just stick to this instead of consoles, they're better at this shit than things they'll just constantly censor things on anyway.
>Nintendo realises that they're most profitable as a third party company
IT'S HAPPENING. MARIO IN PS4 BY 2018 CONFIRMED
>>345021890
So when are you gonna unfuck your consoles?
>>345022456
This is kind of what I was thinking. Nintentoddler here I know I'd probably prefer if they just focused on software.
I made you understand
>>345022408
this. i honestly wouldn't even care. the wii u and 3ds just felt like wastes of money for me.
BUT MOMMY TOLD ME NINTENDO WAS GONNA DIE. ITS NOT FAIR.
>>345022523
All of your devices are my consoles.
Prepare to understand
Great
Shareholders tasted blood on the mobile market
Nintendo will now go full mobile
Holy fucking kek nintendrones are literally celebrating their company becoming a shitty mobile developer
Iwata did untold damage to Nintendo in his stubbornness to embrace mobile, at least Kimshima is doing what is needed to save the company.

I love how Sony lovers always find a success from Nintendo and turn it into a negative.
You people thought that Sony was going to become the gaming leader. Sad!
>>345022794
You and the console market are irrelevant, just like PC gamers.
I will be understood
>>345021890
>$11 billion
Un-fucking-believable. I did not expect them to jump 11 BILLION dollars in one week. And this is coming from a Nintendofag.

However,those who go read the article can see this.
>Nintendo shares still have a long way to go before they reach their former heights, however. On October 30, 2007, about one year after the Wii home console came out, Nintendo stock was worth $625 per share, valuing the company at $79.9 billion.

Hell no fuck this shit. Don't they know mobile is a dead end?
Iwata was their holy protector but now he's gone and there's no one stopping the greedy investors that want to make a quick buck off this bubble and then dump the company.
Nintendo is doomed.
>>345022812

Quick question about 3ds'. So data transfers sound straight forward enough but say I buy the new MHG 3ds which comes with the game. Do I just transfer, put my SD card in and then I download MHG onto my new card?

Anyone else waiting patiently for the Sony shit ship to sink? One more console bomb and they are done, and its Nintendo that's going to finish them off not Microsoft.
hi
The NX is a smartphone right?
>>345021890
>$11,000,000,000 from one app
Well that's it, Nintendo have literally no reason to stay in the console game.
This is for the best, now they can make 3rd party games for the good consoles, and maybe even PC, that is if they don't just abandon vidya completely to make a Nintendo app store.
>Pokemon GO is successful
STILL DOOMED, NOT A REAL GAME!
>12 billion in one week
NO GUYS, LISTEN TO ME! THEY WILL GO MOBILE!
>game becomes the biggest thing
YOU LOSE AGAIN NINTENDRONES AHAHAHAHA
>>345023854
What are you even trying to say? Nintendrones are killing themselves with their own shitposting?
>>345023970
I know trolling on /v/ is easy but you must agree that Nintendo hardware is shit and so is their most recent software. If they were to focus exclusively on games it'd be for the best. Also in no way am I suggesting Sony or Microsoft can make hardware either, both controllers and consoles suck.
>>345023315
>If you bought Nintendo stock before Pokemon Go came out, you'd have effectively doubled your money
IT WAS SO OBVIOUS
WHY DO I NEVER ACT ON THIS SHIT
>>345023860
the digital game will be removed from your system when the transfer is done but your system recognises it was there before so you get to redownload it from the shop. at no cost of course.
I have an animal crossing new 3ds so I know for a fact
>>345021890
It's only a matter of time before a video of this scene is edited to represent the current state of sony & nintendo.

Pokemon GO is more popular than Tinder
How could this happen?
>Pokemon Go is now the biggest mobile game of all time in the U.S. Not only has it surpassed Twitter's daily users, but it is seeing people spend more time in its app than in Facebook. An earlier report from SimilarWeb says Pokemon Go has surpassed Tinder in terms of installations -- the app surpassed Tinder on July 7th. Today, the tracking firm says Pokemon Go has managed to surpass Twitter in terms of daily active users on Monday. It says almost 6% of the entire U.S. Android population is engaging with the app on a daily basis. A new report from SurveyMonkey intelligence indicated that Pokemon Go has claimed the title "biggest mobile game in U.S. history." The game saw just under 21 million daily active users in the U.S. on Monday. It's reportedly closing in on Snapchat on Android, and could surpass Google Maps on Android as well. According to app store intelligence firm SensorTower, the average iPhone user on iOS spent 33 minutes catching Pokemon, which is more than any other apps it analyzed, including Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, and Slither.io. The app with the second-most average usage at 22 minutes, 8 seconds, was Facebook. SurveyMonkey did note that Pokemon Go still falls short of other games when it comes to time spent in games. Game of War sees nearly 2 hours of total daily usage for the average user, while Candy Crush Saga sees daily usage of about 43 minutes.

>>345024303
they didn't have anything to do with it, Niantic made the game using GameFreak's assets
>>345024303
I think the Wii U was Miyamoto and Aonuma trying to force people to like 'their' games like Pikmin and shit. Not games that were successful like Wii Sports etc.
>>345024320
>"We won the race of vidya by not being about videogames anymore"
Said every songger for the past 7 years. Please choose your words more carefully, next time.
How the fuck do they keep doing it with ONE GAME
Bloodborne was Sony's ONE GAME, it barely broke 2 million copies sold
I think the sonyggers are upset
>>345024545
Enjoy your smartphone vidya then.
>>345021890
That nigga seems to know how to make Nintendo earn money now i hope he knows how to make great games and consoles and doesn't just makes Nintendo become a phone games only company.
ITT: Nintenyearolds celebrate their favorite vidya company dropping out of the console wars to become a mobile app developer.
>>345024320
>"We won the race of vidya by not being about videogames anymore"
Technically it would still be a win because Sony dropped video games first. Remember the whole "cinematic experience" thing they're still pushing?

Nice attempt at PR for the next poll. I'm the biggest Nintendo fan on the planet and all I care about is my 3DS and the NX, who cares about some app for normies?
>>345021890
Thats a lie though because most of the money went to Niantic or whatever the devs are called.
Nintendo gets only like 30% of Pokemon stuff.
>>345023628
No, it definetely will. Almost every chinese person on their phones is playing this game in my city and all the highest level gym leaders are asian.

yes and sonyggers shit on that online. Bloodborne gets praised.
God of war gets nothing but shat on on /v/.
Rightfully because they are going cinematic.
The difference in fanbases is astonishing. Anyone who truly cares about nintendo and their games should not want Pokemon Go to do this well. Because that probably means no more actual pokemon games. No more actual vidya. Just apps.

>>345024802
>>345021890
Why didn't I see this coming? Why didn't I put all my money into Nintendo stocks? I'm fucking retarded.
It would have been cool if they actually made it like a full Pokemon MMO like playing the games but IRL but it's not so I'm completely uninterested.
>>345022992
lol the fuck does this have to do with Sony? basing your opinion on the success of shitty mobile apps? sony, nintendo, microsoft.. they're all losing that battle to King. poor waterhead thinks this garbage is a game. literally a gps clicker.

It's also pokemon, again, which is how they struck gold last time.
>>345021890
>still no games for the wii u
Are people shitposting or genuinely celebrating the success of a mobile game?
>>345024760
That poll is bullshit. XBots have been lying dormant for ages and even at their worst, they were never as bad as the deluded Valvedrones. It's even worse because they tarnish the reputation of one of the most respectable fanbases, the PCFags. When people think about annoying PCfags, they are actually thinking of cocksucking Valvefags.
If anyone in this board rivals the Sonyggers levels of autism, it's the Valvefags.
For real though, this is a game changer, and potentially not in a good way. If a cheap mobile app can do this, why should they make anything more challenging or difficult?
>>345025001
Iwata was retarded and he finally died

>no more NIntendo consoles, as everyone with a phone will be able to play Nintendo shit
Just as planned. Nintendo will finally be out of the console wars.
>>345024979
normies wouldn't want a game like that.
The reason it is so successful is because it is not really a videogame.
It is an app.
All nintendo properties will become apps.
>tfw the nintendofags celebrating are celebrating their own doom
>Nintendo goes full mobile
Nothing of value was lost. They've been doing nothing but rehashing old games and hiring retards to "localize" their games for who knows long now.

Not that people will stop shitposting against Nintendo. They are too jealous.
>I WANT MY FAVORITE DEVELOPER TO STOP MAKING GAMES SO THE NASTY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WILL STOP TROLLING ME, THEY JUST JELLY OF MY CASUAL PHONE APP!
Nintendautist logic, everyone.
The funniest part to me is that this validates GenWunners.
This app would have crashed and burned if they just decided to make it a promotional tool for the Sun and Moon gen using Sun and Moon mons. Or any gen other than the first.
>>345022992
>a success from Nintendo
There's no reason to celebrate any company making money, they are not your friends or family. At best, if they're making money off of something you enjoy then you can expect them to make more of it which is a reason to celebrate, but this is the exact opposite situation.
Nintendo won't go full mobile because even if the Wii U sold like shit their best games sold so fucking much it was still profitable. See Smash, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, Splatoon, etc. They make tons of money, it's just that in the Wii it was fucking crazy, they had some of the best selling games of all time.
>>345025191

No, they may be realizing that it's better if they release games that people actually want rather than pet projects the individual developers want to make.
>>345021890
All this fucking whining about Nintendo "becoming a mobile developer"
They've been a mobile developer since the gameboy came out you fucking retards. Just because a smartphone can make calls and texts does not mean it isn't a handheld console, which it quite obviously is. Stop being elitist morons and accept that Nintendo has had this vision for decades.
how the fuck is this good?! they are going mobile if this shit keeps happening
you fucking niggers had to buy wii u and their games, but nope, you went full retarded and bought microtransactions from a shitty app instead
>>345025315
Those games cost more to produce, and didn't cause as much of a splash as a single mobile game did.
If something makes you money, and is easier to produce, why continue to make something that's harder to create, and gives lesser returns?
>>345025045
Dude, the Wii U already gave it all in the past years. While the PS4 was playing catch up.

>Somehow its making money(not counting microtransactions)
How does a free game make money? Falppy Bird made nearly $1M and the game was completely free with no microtransactions.
>>345025387
Making phone games is far and away different from stuff like the Gameboy. From a gameplay perspective, and from a monetization perspective.
If Nintendo goes mobile, they're not going to be making the same things you've enjoyed off their other systems.
>>345025532
presidential candidates are a bunch of walking memes that want atention, nothing new here
>>345024052
Its important to note that they were only in the red in 2012 because they built a new office building.

>>345025613
It certainly is important
>>345025578
I belive that the game had some ads on it
>>345025578
Adverts.
>>345024816
>yes and sonyggers shit on that online.
And yet they constantly praise TLoU and Beyond Two Souls.
>Because that probably means no more actual pokemon games
You're kidding right?
Go will act as an advertisement and bring pokemon as a whole back into the light. In other words the mainline games will still be produced and Go will be updated along side them.
>>345025439
NX is going to be a failure because of this.
>>345024052
>Sony still hasn't recovered from the PS3 loses
Jesus Christ. And people say Nintendo marketing strategy is dumb, they're the ones making the most money even if they sell less consoles.
>>345025532
Wait what? Bullshit.
>>345025578
flappy bird had ads that you could remove by paying a dollar I think, but still ad space pays big.
>>345021890
NICE. What i want the most is Nintendo to stop making Handheld Consoles and doing those kinds of Games in Mobile.
>>345025342
WOOOO SHE REFERENCED A THING!!!
I love it when people reference things. It shows they lack creativity.
Here is my own reference.
>>345025720
Not really.
The people playing pokemon Go do not like anything past gen 2.
You are crazy if you think nintendo will not react to this and pursue the nostalgiafags and ignore the idiots who actually want to play games.
Games are not nintendo anymore. They are now an app producer.
>>345025720
>Go will act as an advertisement and bring pokemon as a whole back into the light. In other words the mainline games will still be produced and Go will be updated along side them.
Or people will stop giving a shit about the mainline games because they've got Go.
I think it's rather naive to think that something as big as this is only going to serve as an "advertisement".
Go is now the main course. Everything else is a side dish.
>>345021890
Sonyfan here.
Good to see Nintendo go mobile. hopefully their next handheld is mobile. Would be nice to have physical controls
Stop right there.

Quick reminder that the top 15 best-selling video games of all time have been Nintendo EXCLUSIVES.
What was the benefit of multi-platform, again?
>>345025735

NX WILL BE A SMARTPHONE CONFIRMED
>>345025987
Well, Go is their first multiplatform release, and you're seeing how well it's doing.
>>345026001
I'm completely aware of that, specially MS.
>>345025881
SONYGGERS BTFO
why is there so much discussion about Sony in a mobile game thread
>>345025439
I bought a Wii U and bought some games for it.
I think I have Smash, Tropical Freeze, 3D World and Nintendoland which both came with the console, Splatoon, MK8, Hyrule Warriors... Other than that there just ahsn't really been anything interesting enough for me to drop $80 on it. Maybe if Nintendo actually started using their properties instead of just burying or shitting on them they'd be turning out bigger profits from home consoles.
>>345025843
It's funny how certain you are of this. Literally everyone in my small town is talking about this fucking game. It is NOT just nostalgiafags.
>>345025875
>Or people will stop giving a shit about the mainline games because they've got Go.
Highly unlikely, it's funny that you would call anyone naive when you're saying this.
>I think it's rather naive to think that something as big as this
It's an Ingress skin. Big to the public small to Nintendo also the main games net them more money so what do you think they're going to stick with?
>Go is now the main course
It's still a side dish to bring pokemon back into the limelight, it's not going to evolve any further than the game it already is.
>>345026076
because nintendo defense force is good at directing the shitposting towards sony.
>>345026058
>completely free game gets played by a lot of people
wow I guess that means Evolve really is good now
>>345024052
You know Sony and Ms have a lot of non vidya related areas?
Last time I checked Sony vidya area was one of the most profitable over assets.
Nintendo makes deals with the devil, dont they?
Every 10 or so years they just go back to the mainstream at full force, raking in the money.
Nobody expected a 2nd Pokemania to ever happen, but here it is.
>>345025987
>san andreas
>rest of the world sales
what the fuck?
>>345025987
How autistic do you have to be to list that?
Pokemon go isn't even on a console platform.
What are you crying over?
Nintendo is doing just fine
>>345026154
Ask any about them what the last mainline game they played and if they would want an actual battling videogame.
They want apps. That is what pokemon is now. You think they give a shit about you who plays stupid videogames?
Anyone who thinks Nintendo is "going mobile" because of Pokemon Go are either shitposters or people who haven't been paying attention to what Kimishima has been saying about Nintendo's plans for the future. Their plan is to have Nintendo IPs in as many mediums as possible. Movies, mobile, social media, consoles, even their upcoming theme park attractions are all a part of this initiative to "leverage Nintendo IP" in as many ways as possible.
Now they just need to reveal the NX so these people can finally shut the fuck up.
>>345022743
ACTIVATE IT.

Well as of this generation and they still haven't payed off the debt of the PS3.

>>345026325
fuck off retard
Now they're going to go 500% on pokemon go, they're gonna make it the best mobile game for the next 2-3 years, not even out in japan, those neets will love this
>>345026272
I'm really anxious for them to announce the NX already
>>345026165
Nigger are you living like, several weeks in the past? Look at the thread title.
This is because of Pokemon Go.
This 'Ingress skin' is literally one of the most popular video games ever. That's not even hyperbole.
You are damn right I am calling you naive. This is a game changer in the most massive way.
>>345026340
Only if they release it as an app too.
>>345026340
No
Zero fucking people using this app are going to buy it
>>345026340
Go might benefit Pokemon Sun and Moon sales in a big way.
>>345026340
It'll probably sell more than X and Y at this rate but it won't reach RBY levels.
>>345025987
>Wii Sports
Was the Wii ever sold without it?
>>345026272
They are shitpostees, anon.
Look, you can even use their logic: LOOK, a mobile game by Sony! This TOTALLY means sony will go mobile only in the future
>>345026183
Unlike Evolve, Nintendo's becoming more profitable because of Go.
Their multiplat game is all anyone is talking about.
>>345023961
Why would they, if Pokemon go is free ?
>>345025070
Nintendofags don't like vidya.
Remember how they always bring up wii sports.
you think they give a shit about quality?
>>345026437
Just like comics killed books, right?
Fuck off. There will always be a handheld market unless they invent an iPhone with a gamepad, which they won't because that's not what iOS users want.
>>345026340
Is there anything in GO that would give you bonus points if you connect it to Sun and Moon?
>>345026364
Literally has no effect in Sony games whatsoever, you cut or change the ones in the red, not the ones profitable.
Also your concept of "paying debt" its wrong, you dont finance failed projects with successful ones. That is a sunk cost
>>345025462
>nintencuck tries to show sonyggers have no games
>only shows amount and not quality
both of you fuckers are retarded, but only a proper reject couldn't see Knack is a PS4 must buy and makes the console worth it
>>345026538
Because if you make your own Pokemon GO, you can sell it. Especially if you can beat Nintendo to the market in Shanghai.
>>345026437
>This is because of Pokemon Go.
Which is a free game on mobiles that everyone can have.
>This 'Ingress skin' is literally one of the most popular video games ever. That's not even hyperbole.
And it still isn't as profitable as a mainline Pokemon game.
>You are damn right I am calling you naive. This is a game changer in the most massive way.
It really isn't anon. Well, it'll get the mainline games more exposure certainly especially since they'll have Go connectivity but they aren't going to change Pokemon to an app because of the amount of money that the main games bring in.
It's absolutely ridiculous to think they would abandon their money maker like that.
>>345026340
Maybe, maybe not.
It will DEFINITELY sell better than the last games did.
I know a few people that have gotten into Go that had started looking into the newest games cause they want a real pokemon fix.
I think it'd go even BETTER if they put out an update just before the games come out for Pokemon Go.
Skip Gen 2-6 for a moment, and just put in the Gen 7 pokemon along with some way to highlight that these are from the newest game.
Imagine if it happened BEFORE Sun/Moon came out, and everyone was scouring the place for new pokemon and trying to evolve them to get a look at the evolutions before anyone else can.
>>345026538
That wasn't stopping the fake TF2 and League
>>345026602
You are comparing entire mediums to one company and its business decisions. Jesus.
If things keep going this way, and mobile games start making them more money than what their other platforms are producing, you're gonna have people in the company asking why they're producing those platforms.
>>345021890
So we all pretty much agree that Nintendo is invincible and will always just become even stronger every time they're defeated by the other companies, right?
>>345026340
Nah.. People are going crazy for PoGO because its on mobile (which everyone has) and it's free.
Not alot of people will go out and buy a 3DS and pay $40 for these games.. Only the people who have already been playing the games will get it.
>>345026703
>>345023396
>not out in Japan yet
What I thought it already was?
>>345025881
HAHAHAHA THEY ARE THE FASTEST SELLING CONSOLE IN HISTORY, TOTALLY BTFO!seriously tho, how can you post that image? are you from the past?
>>345026816
>And it still isn't as profitable as a mainline Pokemon game.
$11 billion anon
$11 fucking billion
>>345021890
Yakuza boss is back. His leather jacket is teflon coated so the blood doesn't stick when he executes his workers if they fail.
>>345026662
I think the devs said they plan connectivity with Sun/Moon but no details as of yet.
>>345026538
>20-something who remembers playing Pokemon as a kid
>downloads GO
>Oh there's a brand new Pokemon game coming out soon? Maybe I'll see how those are nowadays
That's the idea anyway. Whether or not that actually pans out remains to be seen.
>>345026763
So you expect CHINESE people to pay for something free?
>>345026340
>Release in November
Probably not.
I already heard normies how they were annoyed by the evolution system, especially with Magikarps requirements
If Sun/Moon would release in like a month, it would probably sell really well especially with a special edition/bundle
Wasted potential.
Most people want to play a "true" Pokemon game now thanks to Pokemon Go.
WE FINALLY UNDERSTAND
>>345026340
No unless they Port SM to Mobile then yes
>>345026816
http://qz.com/729935/pokemon-go-is-making-1-6-million-each-day-in-the-us-from-ios-users-paying-for-silly-virtual-goods/
$1 million a day will surpass the latest pokemon entry in about two months. That's just on IOS which has a smaller install base than android.
>>345026935
>stock value is how much money a game has directly made
>>345025070
Nintendo is literally only profiting on overpriced toys and a mobile app.
The future of the company is amiibo and cell phones.
>>345026816
>And it still isn't as profitable as a mainline Pokemon game.
Oh fucking Christ. What metric are you using? This thing has been out for a week, and it's netted Nintendo 11 billion dollars.
Show me your math. How is a single fucking 3DS game more profitable?
>>345026957
>Maybe I'll see how those are nowadays
no fucking way.
They see the covers and don't recognize the pokemon and they are out.
>>345026957
I don't know why you linked me there, i was talkignj about the chinese market. And i do agree, if they use Go to market sun and moon they'll get a shitload of money
All this stuff was planned by Iwata before his death. This is his revenge from afterlife.
>>345026872
>and mobile games start making them more money than what their other platforms are producing
You do realise that one making more than the other isn't grounds to abandon the lower one because it's still making ludicrous amounts of money right?
This is naivety of the highest caliber.
The only way they would abandon it is if it suddenly stopped making money and ironically Go ensures that it always will.
>>345027096
That's not how stocks work anon. It has 11 billion extra implied value, not actual.
>>345025727
Not if the NX is a phone.
With amiibo support.
Boom. Drop the mic. Nintendo just won the console race.
>>345027109
Maybe you should understandunderstand
>>345027084
lol
>>345027096
This anon pretty much summed it up for me >>345027067
That's not the profits of the game you idiot.
>>345027096
>This thing has been out for a week, and it's netted Nintendo 11 billion dollars.
no. It increased Nintendo's value as a company 11 billion, they didn't make that much money since they don,t own the totality of their stocks.
>>345027067
I didn't say that.
Why would that matter?
>>345027168
>>345027064
See this.
Unless you're one of those idiots who think this is a fad that will die in a week, you have to understand that this is a game changer.
>>345024320
>Zelda becomes Flappy Bird
Breath of the Wild does share some stringing similarities...
>>345024760
>Sonic comes in second place
>Blizzard very nearly beats playstation in round 1
>>345027285
The only thing that Pokemon Go has managed to change is now dumb fucks keep stopping in the middle of the parking lot when I'm trying to drive
>>345027103
They'll recognize them if they add them to Go in an update before S/M releases.
>>345027105
Oh, sorry, didn't follow the entire reply chain there.
>>345025149
How can someone be this retarded
>>345026183
>it's free guys!!
So? They're breaking records in the amount of micro transactions being spent. The app and it's microtransactions has literally skyrocketed their stocks away from near-junk status.
It's funny how Nintendrones were bragging about how much Miitomo was being downloaded despite being a free app, and are now using that logic against it now that Pokemon GO is impacting the company's profits more than the Wii U has in it's entire lifespan.
>>345027308
Breath of the Wild better be good considering it will be the Last Zelda game that isn't a mobile app.
I hope this series goes out with a bang.
>>345026448
I would assume the opposite and a bunch of normies who gave up the series long but hopped on the GO bandwagon will buy this to maintain the fad.
>>345026364
The PS4 alone has actually saved Sony from bankruptcy they were heading towards solely due to Sony Pictures mismanaging of the Spider-man and James Bond franchises.
>>345025009
/v/
>>345027571
and now Spider-Man the Permanent PS4 Exclusive will be Game of the Year 2017
>>345027249
>>345027067
>>345027253
That is money the company has received directly due to the success of the app, so yes.
Iwata dies and the stocks jump eleven billion dollars in a single year. Imagine if they killed Miyamoto, too. Their stocks could triple over the next sixth months.
>>345024228
Because you listen to /v/'s bullshit. People were saying it was a great time to buy in because Nintendo was bound to rise with new releases including a brand new hardware.
>>345022456
Nintendo will never sell their flagship titles off, never.
Also Google already just tried to buy them recently, fucking Google and they said no.
>>345027658
Are you retarded?
That's not the revenue of the app.
>>345027154
When the lower revenue product is arguably competing against your own other production, it's cause for wondering why you're creating the less profitable productions.
The 3DS is a small fry compared to the profits that mobile market makes at large. If Nintendo can tap into that, and they seemingly are, then why create competition?
What would Iwata think about this?
>>345027571
It also their other electronic departments that kept fucking up.
>>345027571
You're retarded and clearly just spreading fanboy misinformation. Sony pictures is the only one that has consistently been profitable even during sony's bad years
Playstation has become an important segment but it's nowhere near the only thing that "saved" them
>>345027745
These are children you are arguing with. They have no idea what the stock market is or how it works.
For all they know someone comes to your house to take the dollar you lost on a stock for that day right from you, and comes to give you extra dollars when it increases.
GUYS
WHAT IF NINTENDO
RELEASED THEIR HANDHELD GAMES
ON PHONES AS WELL????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
MIND = BLOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN$
>>345027837
He would think doing the exact same motion some people do to unlock their phones isn't an actual game
>>345027249
These are the direct profits of the game. >>345027064
I think the people here who argue the 3DS games are more profitable are probably folks who have no knowledge of the absurd amount of money mobile games can bring in.
It's going to drop. Stocks change all the time. Pokemon GO doesn't have staying power it's a fad. Not even real pokemon games have staying power to keep as many people.
>>345027775
>If Nintendo can tap into that, and they seemingly are, then why create competition?
What competition?
They would be monopolizing the monster raising genre in every area.
Also you have to remember that big money is still big money if one number is bigger.
>>345025772
"Crooked Hillary NO"
>>345021890
I haven't been paying attention to this. Can someone explain the business model of the game? Are there microtransactions? Or does this fall under Kimishima's idea of "exposing more people to our IPs" ?
>>345025009
>>345024760
>>345027345
The guy who makes these polls refuses to use any actual polling systems, just counts posts and claims to have "a tool that detects samefags".
He's been BTFO before for just choosing winners arbitrarily versus actual posts, for example the greatest MGS game where he chose against such an overwhelmingly minority people counted the posts and the post timers versus the spam filter and found out he was full of shit.
There's a reason when he does new polls, the "previous polls" collection no longer includes "Worst Fanbase" because with moe.archive people kept derailing his threads by bringing up old threads and pointing out the wild inaccuracies.
tldr; the guy who runs these threads just picks the ones he wants to smokescreen his opinion as /v/'s and he's been outed several times for it.
>>345022883
>http://www.strawpoll.me/10746185/
no face.
YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW, /v/. I WILL TRANSEND THE CONSOLE MARKET! I WILL TRANSEND THE LIMITATIONS OF CONSOLES!
>>345021890
He actually activated it.
The absolute madman.
>>345028050
They're going to keep releasing updates every time it seems like people might lose interest. They flat out said it.
>>345027775
3DS doesn't "compete" with mobile in the way you're implying though. Now if Nintendo were to start producing their own phone hardware you might have a point, but as it stands people are gonna be buying phones with or without your games on them, so why not dip into both markets?
WHEN WILL YOU CONSOLE WAR FAGS FUCK OFF.
>Pokemon GO downloaded 600% more than Miitomo
Jesus fucking christ. After an abysmal "E3" with one downgraded game, this mini NES shit and everything else they've been doing the past few years, their first major success and it's done by a completely separate fucking company.
The only time Nintendo has succeeded and it wasn't even them. God bless Niantic.
>>345022883
>Penis almost as high as tits
I keep forgetting how gay /v/ is.

Sure.

>Clickbait site

Can we have a real source?
