lmfao!
1. "Nintendo only makes consoles", ok poor word choice and easy bait for a perdantic person such as yourself. My point was that they don't make TV's or operating systems or anything else like sony and microsoft. Maybe you didn't have the presence of mind to realise that or maybe you just thought it made you sound clever.
2. Do you really expect Reggie Fils-Aime to admit his company is taking advantage of customers and retailers and is not willing to invest the adequate funds to build more facilities to meet demand? George Bush told you the Iraq war isn't about oil, I'm sure you believed him, after all it was in the newspapers so it must be true!
3. Stock prices. Once again you missed the point . If Nintendo had met demand on release and in the first 6 months after, their stock would peak much earlier and probably lower than it has done. They realise there is only a finite amount of time before people lose interest and they don't want to saturate the market too quickly. True there are arguments from both sides on this and I can appreciate your point but I don't see what they possibly need to do that takes more than a year in order to increase production.
p.s. don't tell anyone but if you make people think you are going to be very successful your stock price will rise very rapidly even before you sell anything, THEN you start meeting demand and maintain your high stock prices as buyers have faith in you. Do you know how the stock market works at all?
As for the head of a major corporationg slating people for trying to figure out why they can't buy his product, it sounds like someone is getting defensive to me. "Agree with me or you know nothing about business", no thanks I have my own brain.
4. They are clearly not working tirelessly to meet demand ... A YEAR ... thats 12 MONTHS ... and they still can't even meet PREORDERS in the UK, imagine if all companies worked like that, the world would be a disaster.
Finally lex, how about having an independent thought of your own instead of regurgitating what the online newspapers shove down your throat. Are you actually naive enough to believe everything newspapers and the heads of coporations tell you? Quite frankly I see why you think the way you do but what makes me laugh is that I'm sure you would be on the other side of the fence if you didn't have a wii sitting under ur television. So, I won't continue to argue lexical issues from previous posts or even begin looking for counter news articles from biased online publications and blogs to feed your argumentative nature.
Edit: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit btw
