Take a break on consoles, get some of that SEGA money.
P.S. screw SEGA. |

I didn't even know it had NFC tech. That's crazy stuff.
So Japanese company head takes 50% Pay cut when they do poor, J.P Morgan CEO 74% RAISE when his company does poor. Best of luck to Nintendo...they still make the most FUN games. I dont care what anyone else...Skyward Sword was the most fun I've had in gaming in over a decade...even 2 years later |

This appears to be what would have been expected to happen in response to the failure of the WII U to sell in the market. Not quite a doubling down, but a continued push of the console in combination with a side-bet on smart phone apps.
Is it enough? Well it is a bet. I think it is not bold enough and will not stave off an inevitable move to a more SEGA like model for Nintendo. Kudos to the managers at Nintendo for being willing to take cuts in salary, though that will not materially impact the business. It is a good symbol that, yes, they do care what happens.

This is a calculated risk, but if they go, they go down swinging. Still, good on N for having fiscal responsibility |

The Wii U will be able to emulate DS games. My 3DS can already do this, but the world never suffered for having another way to play Knights in the Nightmare. |

More companies should follow Nintendo and cut half of the CEO's salary instead of laying off workers.

Thing is so-called "new blood" tend NOT to actually be as creative or as competent as people with experience. They mostly just make bad decisions |

It's a financial briefing. They wouldn't have news like this during a financial briefing. |

they should also work on their advertising. seriously, the reason people think it's a wii accessory and 3rd party developers won't make games for it is because they don't tell anyone about the console or what it can do
