[quote name='gettinmoney662']

Would Nintendo want to spend resources on a niche JRPG that might make them $500,000 or put those resources towards the next Mario game that will print money for years?

It's not just about making an overall profit but choosing how to allocate a limited amount of resources and making the MOST profit.[/QUOTE]
Fire Emblem for Wii sold over 500k units in it's lifetime. Now granted it's not a million seller, but that's not bad for a niche RPG. I mean I get Nintendo wants to put out games that make the most profit, then so be it, but it's not like they wont see a nice return from these games. Hell limited release it like Atlus does, they will make some profit.

I just told you that it's not about making some profit, it's about making the most profit they can from their limited resources. Why would they make a 500K seller when they can make a million seller? That's just stupid.

Thanks for all of the explanation, Josh. It's interesting to learn about all the financial and business considerations that factor into a decision.

Because some money is better than no money? You're presenting a false dichotomy. This is not a question of Nintendo having to spend money to develop a small, niche title versus putting that money towards developing a Mario or Zelda game. The game is already done, the localization to English is already done, so all of that money was already spent by Nintendo already. The only money that would have to be spent is the manufacture and marketing costs for this market by Nintendo of America.

Considering their barren lineup through the launch of the WiiU which is probably a year or more away, why not put out something to make money while the Wii is still a viable platform? What's to be gained by not launching it here? They're not saving development or localization costs, they're not taking resources away from any other large releases because there aren't really any, so the question becomes "why not?"
 
[quote name='gettinmoney662']I just told you that it's not about making some profit, it's about making the most profit they can from their limited resources. Why would they make a 500K seller when they can make a million seller? That's just stupid.[/QUOTE]

Great. Let's logically think this through.

Well they just sold 250,000 copies of Ocarnia of Time. Well that's not a million we better not do any more handheld ports. Metroid Other M: You know this is probably a pretty low selling Metroid title. Maybe it did 200k? I don't have exact sales figures, but I don't think it was that impressive though compared to what they were looking for. Well that's not close to a million either. Sorry guys no more Metroid games ever again.

Nintendo should clearly just make Smash Bros, Mario, Zelda and nothing else. You can't just take a franchise and make it a million seller instantly. IP's take time to develop and growing pains will be felt. Do you think Uncharted 1 was a waste of time for Naughty Dog? I mean I don't think Uncharted 1 sold a million copies right away and I'm not sure if it ever hit that. They still developed a sequel and GUESS WHAT? Through word of mouth and the quality product brought them huge success. They have one of the best new IP's this generation and they bank.

Doesn't this completely bare on how much it costs to develop and market a damn game? Why is everything in this industry 1 Million copies sold or Bust? I don't understand why a number like 500,000 and 750,000 cannot be seen as a successful venture.

yea, i guess... still, at 20 i'd gladly get it. and nice on patapon 2

was also gonna post that theres a 2x pts on all captain america items (automatically applied, so 20 pts for every dollar spent) but then realized the games not gonna be stocked... still... works for everything captain america related apparently

Nintendo of America is a stubborn company with their blinders on to any kind of traditional gaming market.

If it's not focused at casuals, or a nostalgic franchise they do not want it. Period.

They're going to run the 3DS into the ground with this nonsense and I honestly think the WiiU is going to struggle for 2 years against 360/PS3 and then get completely and utterly forgotten when the next generation of hardware shows up.

All the while NoA will be running towards the cliff edge with their blinders on, saying "We want games everyone can play". Not realizing that "everyone" they're talking about is playing crappy facebook games and $1 apple phone games.

The lowest price, "good enough" quality bar has been met with a competitor. That market doesn't care about quality.

Maybe i'm just irrationally upset at the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3, the failure of Shadows of the Damned and Child of Eden, and the refusal of Xenoblade but man, fuck the gaming industry. Keep buying those modern war shooters, guys. THAT's the way.

If you want to fully support the gaming industry, get off this site and buy everything for MSRP. You can't be on a site like this where we get games for $20-30 and then whine when obscure titles that don't sell aren't getting made any more.

Before I begin, I'd like to say your posts, along with Josh's, make for excellent reading material pertaining to the business of the gaming industry. To answer "why not", allow me to play devil's advocate.

As you noted, the only thing in Nintendo's lineup for the forseeable future are a bunch of 3DS games and Skyward Sword. The main reason that Operation Rainfall won't work is because Nintendo is using a majority of their budget (and as Josh noted) trying to push buyers towards the 3DS come now through the holiday season. The 3DS, even with lackluster sales, is a sunk cost and they are intent on trying to move more units. I imagine a majority of their immediate budgeting will be for new 3DS titles and the handheld itself, with the rest going towards WiiU. This means that with the exception of Skyward Sword, Nintendo has altogether abandoned the Wii. SS will sell like hotcakes and I take it Nintendo is putting all their eggs into that basket for the remainder of the lifespan of the console.

Like you said, money needed to manufacture and market Xenoblade, The Last Story, or Pandora's Towers seem marginal compared to other games they've published in the past. It makes sense from gamers standpoint to try and push out those games, since the marketing is already there with Operation Rainfall, but these are niche titles compared to the Mario, Zeldas and Metroids. How many niche titles for the Wii can you name that have sold well in the lifespan of the console? You can fault a lack of marketing for their sales, but the numbers paint a pretty bleak picture. I cannot speak for how Operation Rainfall games sold (not received) in Japan, but it also might have a hand in explaining why they haven't decided to push for it in the States. While I personally think it's silly for Nintendo to alienate their fanbase like this, I can understand it from a business perspective.

To get back on topic, after a solid month of June promotions, July has been severely lacking. I know Josh works hard and here's to hoping we might see some better deals soon!
 
[quote name='HakurenKyo06']I'm glad we consider a game being out for a month a sales failure now.[/QUOTE]

Being that nothing has come out in these months, yes it is a complete failure.

One "Quick Look" at GiantBomb told me this game isn't any good.
 
[quote name='gepet0']Anyone picking up call of juarez?[/QUOTE]

On the fence on this one. My Infamous 2 coupon expires end of this week but not hearing good things about this game.
 
[quote name='HakurenKyo06']I'm glad we consider a game being out for a month a sales failure now.[/QUOTE]
Well it is a failure if it sells like absolute shit during it's launch window. I mean 58,000 copies of a game three weeks in is pretty much a failure nowadays.
 
Hey Josh, are you carrying Batman Arkham City Collector's? That looks pretty sweet and I'll probably unnecessarily buy it at launch instead of waiting six weeks for it to hit half price, because I am a sucker.

I'm actually not being facetious.

This isn't some sort of zero-sum game where the money is a finite pool that can only be drawn from to the detriment of other titles. Sure, you could use that money exclusively for a more profitable game, but why not use that money to push out a few titles to keep your fans happy and your software lineup full (considering that Nintendo has seen that casual gamers just don't support the console with a high attach rate the way fans do), make back your money plus some profit, and then reinvest that money in something more profitable?

Your scenarios all seem to assume that money is a finite resource that can only be used once, when instead it makes more sense to continually reinvest it. Money is not the end-all, be-all of business. It's the largest, most important factor by a large majority, I will never dispute that. But intangibles like customer loyalty, brand strength, etc. are all important too and ignoring those can pay dearly in the long run when customers abandon you. Blockbuster is an example I'd point to of a company more focused on bottom-line business than customer loyalty or brand strength, and the moment a competitor like Netflix and Redbox arrived, people jumped ship.

There's a reason movie studios make arthouse movies and Oscar-bait that only makes back its budget and a little extra, if that, alongside their high-budget blockbusters. And if we accepted your argument as undeniably true then that wouldn't, and shouldn't, happen.

But there seems to be no discussing this with you anyways, so I'm leaving it at this. You just seem to be insulting people who disagree with you in your last few posts. You're obviously a person of intellect, so why stoop to such petty ad hominem insults? It seems beneath what you're capable of responding with.

[quote name='Miro'][Snipped for length, click for post.][/QUOTE]
Thanks for the kind words. I can't claim to have any special knowledge of the industry, but I'm glad my rambling isn't completely bollocks. :lol: Thanks.

To the matter at hand, I see where you're coming from. The 3DS is struggling, and the WiiU is such an unknown quantity that Nintendo is coming off a high of the Wii's success into a pretty ambiguous retail situation. I can see where they would have to start funneling money into supporting those new endeavors, but at the same time, the WiiU is a ways away, and the Wii will still be on the market for at least another year or two, and it seems absolutely crazy that, given the lack of 3rd party support it has, Nintendo would likewise put out one or two last games and then write it off. It would seem pointless to continue selling it without any major releases coming out for it, let alone anything niche. The hardware sales seem to have run their course, and aside from some future price cuts, it will be hard to rekindle them to anywhere near their previous levels. That leaves software sales to grab, and Skyward Sword will do that, and Kirby will do well too. But beyond that, there seems to be nothing. So why leave cash on the table before closing up shop on the Wii?

Their position as a business is one I can, however grudgingly, accept. They have to worry about their stockholders, profits, and making sure their new hardware does well. But I can't claim to agree with it. (Note that this is mostly pointed at NoA, not Nintendo as a whole. NoE seems to be much better at supporting the Wii with software.)

My first k-mart story ever...

Went to k-mart #7777 under the scorching sun (lunch break) and got shot down for two $20 PSN cards using the $15 gaming coupon (from Zelda 3D). The two ladies told me I can't use the coupon because the PSN cards do not have taxes on them. They told me "in order to use the coupons, you have to buy a game item that rings up taxes." Okay... I told them I don't want the cards anymore and I thanked them. At one point, I said "I'm going to get the cards from Best Buy." The cashier said "they don't charge taxes in Best Buy either." I didn't say anything, there was an awkward pause...

I got the PSN cards from Best Buy, few blocks away, I need the catch the PSN summer sale :) I don't know what to get for the $15 coupon, there's absolutely nothing to get, oh well...

I got the PSN cards from Best Buy, few blocks away, I need the catch the PSN summer sale :) I don't know what to get for the $15 coupon, there's absolutely nothing to get, oh well...[/QUOTE]

I know 1 of those ladies I'm sure her name is Cleo and she always look like she don't wanna work there and has a screw face (Tuesday is her dreadful day because she dont like to stock the cases but she does in the morning). But I don't get how they wouldn't let you use a $15 coupon on a $20 card if you are going to pay the difference. But if you want another card check the 34st store. There's a guy there name John. He's familiar with the coupons and whatnot but it's just a matter of whether they have it in stock or you might find something else different all together.
 
Just have them ring up the PSN cards and keep the coupon out of sight, once they hit total give them the coupon. If they say no just tell them to scan anyway. If not then leave.

No one except creepy nerds wanna buy shit like Catherine, and thank God, there aren't huge masses of that type of clientele around.

Goddamn you are pathetic dude. Aren't you the same guy who goes apeshit like once a week and then apologizes to everyone?

Your console can play plenty more than Dudes of Bro 3 and Halo, you should try out another type of game some time.
 
[quote name='Serpentor']My first k-mart story ever...

Went to k-mart #7777 under the scorching sun (lunch break) and got shot down for two $20 PSN cards using the $15 gaming coupon (from Zelda 3DS). The two ladies told me I can't use the coupon because the PSN cards do not have taxes on them. They told me "in order to use the coupons, you have to buy a game item that rings up taxes." Okay... I told them I don't want the cards anymore and I thanked them. At one point, I said "I'm going to get the cards from Best Buy." The cashier said "they don't charge taxes in Best Buy either." I didn't say anything, there was an awkward pause...

As others have said, it would have worked no problem at all. Don't let employees screw you out of deals.

He's a lost cause. Just ignore him like everybody else does. If he wants to be THAT consumer that only buys CoD and Madden EVERY year then let him be that guy.

The most frustratingly obtuse people I see on Craigslist are those selling their consoles with all their games and the games are... CodMW2, BF2, CoD:BO, NBA 2k10, NBA 2k11, NCAA 2010, NCAA 2011, Madden... And then want $600 for it because that's how much they've put into it. I sigh and move on.
 
Your $15 coupon will NOT print. It was never set up by the team. If you email me your receipt I will provide a replacement gift card instead.

Annoy :roll: Updated OP.
 
[quote name='camelking6969']Dear josh, please start leaking more deals, so that this will return to the kmart thread and not the other crap that is going on. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
I will in August, July sucks due to me more than anything else. While I was out in June, July is the month that suffered for it.

Isn't assuming that all he wants to play is COD and Halo just because he doesn't like Catherine the same as what he said about people who want to play Catherine?

that's the one... man, i put up with her frowning look too long, thanks bud. I know the coupon works! I've been using the coupons for a long long time. But the funny thing is, so does that lady, she should know how the coupons work now (I saw her pretty much every time I shop there and it was her handing me the coupons with writings "coupon voided if games returned."). The whole "no tax, can't use coupon" excuse is a new one though. I know I'm right, but I don't want to argue with them and I definitely don't want to make a scene. I'm not going back there again...

Imagine that! A company departing from the great formula of BiB to some modern day shit.

There's no proper way to say any swear. It's like trying to tell him he can't use shit unless it involves fecal matter.
