The numbers didn't work well for Nintendo because they weren't getting full profits. Sony rightfully want a fair chunk of the profits, and Nintendo wanted to hand out peanuts. That's why they backstabbed Sony by letting Sony unveil the SNES-Playstation at CES, and then the NEXT day Nintendo denounces the partnership…

I think Kotaku needs its own personal 2ch tag. You know, for every "Someone in Japan hates on something that's not from Japan!" article. Call it 'Because 2ch' or something.

People on 2ch get their panties in a knot over everything, especially when it comes to Korea possibly "ripping something off" from Japan.

My best combo:

The core game is funny, while this is not.

Only if you're a Nintendo fanboy, blind to the facts that this article outlines.

When did you visit Japan? Cuz I think the generation that introduced the DVD player is still the generation in charge of those businesses. They probably were ahead of the game back then, but they didn't keep that lead. They are slow to change. You should see the computers they have in their schools now. They are older…

I was traveling and living abroad for a couple years, spent a lot of time in Japan, and I have to say that it isn't racist to make observations about how people are shaped by their culture. In hindu cultures, people just don't care about protecting themselves because of fatalism. I watched so many people crossing…

Yeah, but remember how the guys from Nintendo didn't even understand what the developer was talking about when he was talking about the PSN and Live? They had no idea what they were about. Thats not a difference in idealogy, that is just not knowing what the heck is going on in an online gaming environment. However, I…

Did I say anything about America? Did I say anything racial? No? Then shut the fuck up. Don't come in projecting your bullshit because you can't read. It's been brought up before about Japanese society tends to resist outside change and influence and even at times, be xenophobic about change.

Third party support for Nintendo consoles has always been horrid ever since the Nintendo 64 days. This isn't ground breaking information.

Nintendo will be fine as long as they keep selling Mario Party, Zelda, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros.

I've got a Vita and I didn't buy TearAway yet.

You say you're not stupid enough to go and make assumptions about rap related stuff, but that was preceded by you making a lot of assumptions about 50 Cent.

What is it with people having a boner over the N64 it sucked, the games have all aged horribly and it was the beginning of Nintendo's head up their ass phase when they actually made statements out loud like "we don't need third party publishers our franchises sell our console." Which they quickly tried to back peddle…

There are so many questions about these pictures.

Teen Spirit, Drain You, Breed...if you DON'T love Nevermind, you're probably a poser/hipster.

The host clearly likes cats, roosters and FAKK, a.k.a. Heavy Metal 2000.

Oh hey, a Ctrl-Alt-Del that's not entirely awful. A rarity!
