Spoiler

;(

 

[borghe]

Holograms

nintendo and sega merger guaranteed.

 

[The Horror the horror]

It's the completed Yamauchi cyborg.

Goodbye, Iwata

 

[TeRey09]

QoL seems most likely.

What's QoL?

 

[DJIzana]

Wonder if they'll unveil that during their Digital Event? Guess we'll wait and see.

 

[Fireblend]

MS's Xbox division.

 

[Shaanyboi]

QoL

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What's QoL?

Quality of life.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

What's QoL?

That's a very good question.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

What's QoL?

Quality of life.

Nintendos next health platform/game console maybe?

 

[Effect]

Holograms

One of my dreams is to be around to see that. Curious as to what they dropped that much money on. That's not a small amount of money at all. QoL tech or company is the likely option. We thought they'd have to be buying something or a company to handle that based on their size and what they currently do.

Off topic but how does one post the entire tweet like that?

 

[The Horror the horror]

What's QoL?

Quality of Life.

Edit: Beaten via tagteam by Jetblack and the Jimmy fellow.

 

[RPGamer92]

Platinum Games?

 

[Jocchan]

Next year is 2015 so... hoverboards?

 

[Herb Alpert]

an escape pod for Iwata.

 

[Tenck]

They bought Sony.

Sony isn't that expensive bro.

 

[udivision]

QoL aka something completely uninteresting.

 

[Yawnier]

Ouya.

 

[LOCK]

Hmm Interesting, maybe a developer of some sort.

 

[Wishmaster92]

$100,000,000 ON BANANAS

It has to be this because it's ridiculous.

 

[Guevara]

Doesn't seem like it's a merger, more likely a strategic investment. Otherwise we probably would have seen it.

 

[JayEH]

John Carmack.

 

[Kouriozan]

QoL aka something completely uninteresting.

aka we love to jump to conclusion
Probably the response is in the upcoming Q&A session.

 

[RukusProvider]

Hopefully someone who understands what Online means.

 

[also]

What's QoL?

Quality of Life.

“Moreover, by redefining entertainment as something that improves people’s QOL (Quality of Life) in enjoyable ways, Nintendo aims to deploy a new platform business that improves people’s QOL in enjoyable ways in a new field that is different from that of dedicated video game systems. The first theme will be health, and Nintendo plans to capitalize on being an entertainment company in devising a unique approach of its own.

We still don't have any concrete news as to what exactly this is.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Impossible to know. We can guess of course. What can be worth 100 millions $ related to gaming or QoL?

 

[TeRey09]

Sony isn't that expensive bro.

That's cold.

 

[Varshes]

Quality of Life, Quantity of Hometown

 

[Graphics Horse]

What's QoL?

Quantity of Lice. It's a scanner to check your family's hair for hair lice. It plays metroid music during the scan.

 

[zma1013]

So find out what tech company sold for $100,000,000.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Clearly Zuckerberg lost Oculus Rift to Iwata in a poker game and the 100M is just to make it look less illegitimate

 

[udiie]

They built Reggie Fils-A-Mech

 

[505zoom]

Next year is 2015 so... hoverboards?

That would definitely improve my QoL.

 

[MarkMclovin]

An eject seat.

 

[Protagonist Jake]

>Comes in to speculate which company they bought
>Tech related

Damnit

Damnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnif

It's totally just gonna be some QOL nonsense

Why lord why

 

[Rolf NB]

A stack of 360p LCD screens. Gotta plan for the future.

 

[TeRey09]

Quality of Life.

We still don't have any concrete news as to what exactly this is.

I wonder what's fueling their health push?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Maybe they bought all their remaining stock of Wii U's off themselves to artificially increase the install base number?

Spoiler

They certainly didn't spend it on patching same-sex relationships into Tomodachi Life

 

[diaspora]

Platinum Games?

A monstrous waste of $100 million.

 

[Chindogg]

They bought From Software from Kadokawa and Atlus from Sega.

They're making Donkey Kong Country Returns 3.

Fuck my sides.

 

[GregLombardi]

Is there any source on this besides a tweet? Like, the original text of the report or whatever from their financials? God I hate the twittersphere.
