Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China?

drfishy writes "An interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata on IGN hints at the possibility of Nintendo entering the Chinese market with their products soon. The most curious part of the interview is that Satoru Iwata says Nintendo is considering releasing older generation hardware to combat piracy, could this mean the big N is going to start making Super Nintendos again? Will there be new games? How would this fight piracy?"

  1. 10^n, where n%3 = 0. by autopr0n · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Think about it this way, numbers in the form 10^n where n is congruent to 0 mod three (i.e. n%3 = 0) are named, numbers in the form 10^n where n isn't congruent to 0 mod 3 are un named, except the first three. That way you can do something like 10^6*10*2, since 10^8 is unnamed, but those two are. This lets us say any number. For example:

    10^0 = one
    10^1 = ten
    10^2 = hundred
    10^3 = thousand
    10^6 = million
    10^9 = billion
    10^12 = trillion
    10^7 = 10^1 * 10^6 = ten million
    10^11 = 10^2 * 10^9 = hundred billion

    etc.
