If they had 7x the cash they do now they could have bought Activision-blizzard
this .. but I miss the 2d castlevania games on nintendo handhelds. I hope they make another 2d Castlevania.The richest and still no Starfox.
How's your debt Sony?
Nintendo to ABK:If they had 7x the cash they do now they could have bought Activision-blizzard
The real trick is convincing people to keep buying them…Well of course, when you keep 7 year old games at $60.
correct, Nintendo would never be dumb enough to do thatNintendo to ABK:
Um no, they fuck up every 2nd generation.Their business strategy over the years really warrants a lot of study. It’s remarkable how they always seem to come out on top and seem to have practically no internal drama or division worth reporting on.
3)Hire gaming engineering geniuses to continue to develop the best gameplay the industry has to offer.1) Protect your brand identity, stick to your values
2) Keep releasing bangers on your compelling platform with insanely wide appeal

4) Profit
Eh, they didn't get there without losses of their own. I love Nintendo, but let's not pretend the road to success was perfectly paved.Imagine losing the console war to a company with less money than the cost of Activision.
Eh, depends how you define a fuck up. Their sales aren't always great but they are almost never in the red.Um no, they fuck up every 2nd generation.
11 Billion is what they have in cash… Not the company value… Mario IP alone cost more than that for sure.Imagine losing the console war to a company with less money than the cost of Activision.
It's not just about that...Nintendo unlike Sony doesn't need $300M per huge game because they don't chase visuals the way Sony does. That has never been their thing.1) Protect your brand identity, stick to your values
2) Keep releasing bangers on your compelling platform with insanely wide appeal

Nintendo to ABK:
They do have a habit of sitting on cash, but thankfully with Switch they are reinvesting a lot of the profits.Sitting on truckloads of cash isn’t a good thing necessarily.
Should do buybacks or dividends if they aren’t going to reinvest it
I liked the game
Still looks better than PS5.love nintendo, but stuff like this always reminds me of their penny pinching crap, like removing the digital-out from late gen gamecubes, and this monstrosity:
That's more on japan's work culture than anything.Their business strategy over the years really warrants a lot of study. It’s remarkable how they always seem to come out on top and seem to have practically no internal drama or division worth reporting on.
Or make $300 million dollar Spider-Man sequel???And they haven't had to spend 100 billion in acquisitions. It's amazing how making good games keeps you in the game.
You understand that those companies likely have debts, no? Nintendo makes toys vs. automobiles.Where is Toyota? Is Subaru above it?
I understand. What I don't understand is japanese.You understand that those companies likely have debts, no? Nintendo makes toys vs. automobiles.
I saw this many times today : ))
3) is make a movie that rakes in a billion dollars.1) Protect your brand identity, stick to your values

And some Gaf users giving Nintendo advices on how to manage a video game company to avoid bankruptcy… lol
means they own their assets, have 11 billion in cash and no debt.What does richest mean? That's like saying I'm richer than the United States because I have savings and no debts.
means they own their assets, have 11 billion in cash and no debt.
it means a lot, Sony has like 14 billion in cash, but their debt is around 30 billion. Just to give you an exampleIt was rhetorical, I know what it literally means, it just doesn't mean a whole lot.
The photo was missing the Duracell batteries xD
“Mama-Mia you haven’t learned your lesson after buying Rare?”
But seriously their good talent left years ago.
Well, it might become a bad thing when you're forced to revise your income stream downward to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, which in turn could make your stocks take a tumble. It's tough to come up with a recent example of that happening, though.When did debt become a bad thing for companies? Does Japan handle debt differently through taxes?
That can certainly happen when a company has excessive debt but sitting on too much cash isn’t helpful either. Depends on their plans and risk tolerance I suppose.Well, it might become a bad thing when you're forced to revise your income stream downward to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, which in turn could make your stocks take a tumble.
