Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80%

mybrainonfire writes "1UP is reporting that Nintendo had a 78.5% reduction in operating profits for the quarter.

Speculation from the news service on the reason for the drop makes perfect sense - the GameCube doesn't have enough exclusives, first-party and third-party, and sales of GBA SP and GameCube have been declining.

Nah, it's just that children the world over have rediscovered the pleasures of the great outdoors, of playing in the street and exploring the neighbourhood. They'd rather play in the real world than a virtual one. oh... wait...

I refuse to purchase one until the price goes down. If they sold at maybe half their price,

It's a frickin' hundred dollars? WTF!? How cheap do you expect it to be???

Obviously half of $100 is $50.

Please STFU. Pokemon RPGs are a lot more indepth then people give them credit for. Each pokemon stats wise have hundreds of varients and tactics, far more then the latest FF menu slogging interactive movie.

When you can tell me what EV, IVs and base stats are relating to pokemon and I might listen to you're opinion. Untill then you're taking cheap shots at a fantastic RPG series which happens to be easy enough to pick up and play it's marketed to kids.
