Topic: What will come after the Wii U?

@waveboy i would fight to these

I would pay good money for that.

No wait this one, [youtube:zd9OugZb-4c&feature=relmfu] Why don't we have a Mortal Kombat thread yet?!

I love how you make this comment then proceed to completely derail the topic.

because people are too lazy of course and not working hard enough...(feel like making a salve joke)

^ she looks like ao oni
ps:this is getting way off topic

But they didn't come out in the 80's therefore they arnt actually retro... Yet

This thread is a hot mess.

That is a theory but practice disagrees. Sega is a third the size of Nintendo today because it is multiplatfotm and lost uniqueness. Nintendo losing its edge and being absorbed into Apple (which could certainly be way past its prime now) could be a suicide pill. Nintendo is a healthy business because it relied mostly on gaming - this way they have control they have risk management its a great business model. There is enough room in the market for plenty of different experiences of toys and games. I would not advise it to totally dismantle itself because of a trend that didn't even prove to be financially viable yet. That's just silly analysis and misunderstanding of Nintendos market and goals. But we will see. I am not ruling it out. I am also investing. When you take s company that is so rich like Nintendo and speculate just on the basis of its share price taking a big hit mostly due to the yen and external factors it's a bit far fetched. Nintendo can actually go into a buying spree of its own.

I always wondered if I did that and posted the videos on YouTube, how many people would subscribe..

Unfortunately I'm in too much of a respected position (in the real world.. lol) to be putting up videos like that on YouTube.

It's okay to go off topic only if you are talking about happy things. Like funny youtube videos and ponies. Coincides with the relative youth of the community I imagine.

Not really how acquisitions work. Apparently the chocobo's M&A 101 wasn't of much help after all.

Yeah. Between us I'm pretty sure I'm the one that actually took such classes in the university actually. Synergy often leads to exactly that. In fact that's exactly how mergers work. Two companies become one. Although you can do a reverse triangular merger I'll explain if you want.

Oh that's not necessary, I'm sure a college level explanation would be way beyond my level of understanding

Perhaps the chocobo will take you up on that inviting offer.

@AlexSays
I was referring to the fact that almost every topic on NintendoLife that has some kind of thread like this is always started by someone who prefers another system against Nintendo. By trolls, I was referring to the people who talk about Nintendo's failure and "reasons" why they should/would/could be bought out by Sony, Apple, Microsoft, etc or people who start "flame wars" only to later say something like "Oh, gee, I guess all Nintendo fanboys are blind. nostalgic. attack dogs." You really can't disagree that there is Nintendo hatred on the site. And as for differing viewpoints, I don't have an issue with that, but when people seem to only throw out the SAME differing viewpoint (in this case the successfulness of Nintendo over the coming years), I consider them to be narrowminded and wonder why they don't see this kind of thing happening to any other company. I don't see the Big N failing for a while because of fan loyalty and quality games and hardware. I'm not saying they won't ever tank. Everyone does. That's why we don't have SEGA making consoles anymore. But how come EVERY topic about the failure of a company on this site is about Nintendo's failure? Why is it so impossible for one of the other Big Three to fall? And then the whole "Because they have other divisions not centered on gaming so they can stay afloat..." argument comes up.

And blah, blah, blah, we've seen this thread a hundred times before.

But enough about that nonsense. Getting back on topic...

I want to wait until the Wii U is nearing the end of it's life before I talk about what could possibly be coming after.

Who is talking about Nintendo failing? I specifically said they would get purchased because they are successful.

Not difficult to read my posts without misinterpretation, I make them simple and everything.

Again, where is all this failure you mention.

Heaven forbid someone say something about Nintendo's future other than them being the best company in the world, and it's back to "OH MY GOD YOU ALWAYS SAY THEY'RE DYING!"

You Nintendo fans need to chill. Talking about Nintendo being acquired by a company and sharing mutual benefits is not 'Nintendo hatred'. You guys are so quick to label everything hate, and you wonder why you get called blind and ignorant.

Yipee.

Yes, yippee you misinterpreted everything I said and don't care about what I actually said, because you'll criticize my posts just the same

Come on now there's no need for that.
