It seems as though all of Nintendo's efforts to make fine, enjoyable products is paying off handsomely. Nintendo's market value is officially worth over 10 trillion yen, which is equivalent to approximately $85 billion USD. This prosperity is almost certainly due to the popularity of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii. Nintendo's extremely high market value puts it in third place as Japan's most valuable company, shortly behind Toyota and Mitsubishi. The event that pushed Nintendo's stock above the 10 trillion mark was the announcement of the Wii Fit's release date, which is December 1st.

Pretty impressive for little "underdog" Nintendo.
 
No doubt there will be plenty of trolls posting about how the Wii only does well because it's cheaper, but those are the people that don't understand that's how a business works :banghead:

Just because something isn't the most powerful doesn't mean it can't be the best ;)
I think the Wii and the 360 are both great, not had much to do with the PS3, but so far I do prefer the Wii to the 360 because I don't have a HD TV and with the Wii I get a cheaper console and cheaper games. TBH I couldn't care less about graphics nowadays, they're good enough and whilst I won't complain about things looking better, gameplay is more important for me.

And many others share that view, hence this news, so go Nintendo!
 
I hope they use up this money to make a more intense console next time coupled with the usual new innovations :cool:

There is a DS .gif in the funny pictures thread that I want to steal to put in here, but I can't remember which page it is on :(
 
Goes to show you that all it takes is a cheap gimmick to get yourself filthy rich. I own two of those sons of bitches... I hate the controls of every game released so far - I'm just waiting for Smash bros since it doesn't have motion sensing!

Don't get me wrong; motion sensing is a great idea, but it's executed very poorly on the wii. The wiimot is not at all what we all thought it would be.

I thought that during Zelda, the sword would follow your movements, like the Wii commercials made us believe. That's extremely false.
 
well, Mitsubishi makes quality TVs and such, so no surprise there. Im pretty excited for Nintendo, about time they made a push as console kings again
