Re: Pikachu Takes Centre Stage at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

@ikki5 I don't know where you got the idea that Pokemon has been around since the 80s, but it hasn't. It came out 1996 in Japan and 1998 in the US. Also, Mario is very popular. Super Mario Bros sold 29 million copies in the US, and 3 & World sold over 12 million copies, and Mario Kart DS and Wii were very popular here. Mario wouldn't be Nintendo mascot if he wasn't popular.

Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Follow Microsoft's Lead With A Wii U Price Cut?

@Peach64 You are saving money getting bundles. The Super Mario 3D World + Nintendo Land Bundle is $299.99

If you got a Wii U alone ($299.99), 3D World alone ($59.99) and Nintendo Land alone ($59.99) You would be spending $419.97, which is $119.98 you could have saved.

NOTE: I'm not sure if Nintendo Land costs $59.99, I looked at the eShop, and they don't have a price for some reason.

When the Wii U was priced at $349.99 they were selling it at a loss. Now that it's $299.99 they're selling it at a bigger loss, so dropping the price will make Nintendo lose A LOT more money.

EDIT: Okay, they said in May it's now profitable, but Nintendo has been losing money for 3 years, so they should keep it there.
