It's very simple. You have absolutely no evidence to back up your theory that the US government fabricated this story. You believe that's the case because it fits your existing worldview.
At this point nothing short of a massive price drop, heavy promotion and money hats to 3rd parties could reinvigorate the platform in the West. Perhaps they should focus their attentions elsewhere.
I have read that Nintendo wants to cut the price but can't. The touchscreen pad apparently costs them just as much to produce now as it did at launch.
When the Wii was $250 and the PS3 was $500, that was a real price difference. Now the Wii U is $300 and the PS4 is $400. People are overwhelmingly choosing to spend the hundred bucks to get a much more powerful console with immensely better 3rd party support.
In related news, Airbnb thinks they are exempt from food safety regulations.

Newflash- if you offer goods or services to the public for money, you are not part of some new and different "sharing economy" just because it involves an iPhone app. You are part of the old fashioned economy and you need to play by the existing rules.
"More than half of Americans -- 52 percent -- say they own stock, mostly as part of a mutual fund or retirement account, according to a Gallup survey conducted in April."
That number was at 60% in 2009, but for a variety of reasons lots of people got out of the market after it crashed- which is of course the exact wrong thing to do.
but when the 5% cash out quick because they are privy to special information
Do you have anything to back that statement up with? Or just your opinion that all rich people must be cheating assholes?
If your family members lost a large part of their life savings in the market, then they did do something wrong. They didn't properly diversify their investments, like every financial adviser on Earth, including the Wu Tang Clan, told them to.
You misunderstood. If a petition gets enough "signatures" the President promised that the White House would *respond* to it, not do it.
The response to that one was actually fantastic-
Responding to a petition on the White House Web site, science and technology adviser Paul Shawcross tells disappointed "Star Wars" fans, "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For."
Shawcross explained that at $850 quadrillion, the cost was simply too high in a time of tight budgets. Moreover "the administration does not support blowing up planets." And anyway, "Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"
I don't believe that the Google self-driving car actually reads signs. That stretch of road is coded in its database with the speed limit.
I always thought that "Speed Limit X when children are present" really means "during school hours". With a little bit of logic ability, the car would know what the speed limit was for that time and date.
You do realize that the Milwaukee Bucks play in Milwaukee, right? LA is a slightly bigger media market.
I don't understand the point of him fighting the penalties. 2.5M is a negligible amount of money. And if he ever shows up at a ballgame again, he will be showered in drinks. But he obviously has some screws loose.
He apparently is well known in LA real estate circles for being a ninja master of legal maneuvering and loopholes.
That wasn't his punishment. His punishment was a $2.5M fine (the largest the league can levy) and more importantly he was banned from all NBA sanctioned events for life.
Contrary to what 100 comments in this thread are saying, this sale didn't change his net worth by a dime. He was just forced to liquidate an asset that was already on his balance sheet. The Dodgers sold for $2.1B recently so it was assumed that the Clippers would go for around that much.

I have read that their problem is that the price is *not* getting cheaper. The global demand for that kind of touchscreen is very high.
There have been significant advances in networking since 2002. You should read up.
Existing Comcast customers would get free access to these hotspots.
Yes. I secretly work for the CIA.
I did not express that opinion at all.
Some articles from 2012 list of the bill of materials cost for the Wii U at $180. Add assembly, packaging, and shipping, and you're around $200.
The other manufacturers make a lot of money from third party game licensing, so they can sell consoles at cost. Nintendo doesn't so they can't.
You're right. Evidence is for suckers.

Clearly any information that contradicts your preexisting conclusions must have been fabricated by the evil US government.
You should learn what a monopoly is.

Are you serious?
The Pew Research link I looked at before was actually 7% lower than Gallup's survey.

It's its own bubble, a game played by the upper 5% to enrich themselves and fuck everyone else.
Actually, 45% of Americans own stock. 77% of Americans with a college degree.
But feel free to make up any numbers you need to support your conclusions.

It's so super secret that only genius mega-hackers like you know about it.
For the foreseeable future, it will be the driver's responsibility to make sure that the car follows all applicable laws.
Yes. I'm FREE to voluntarily opt in to a system of my choosing. When things are required by the government, that's a different situation.
Do you grasp the difference?
If I can take a nap on the way to and from work, they can transmit my location directly to NSA headquarters.

They can solve that problem by just flying higher.
