As if we really needed Reuters to tell us this, but Nintendo, that small Japanese startup, is making lotsss of money as a result of the Wii and DS. Its quarterly profit—look at me use that phrase like I know what it means—more than tripled. So for all the haters out there, know that for however many message board threads you make entitled “Why the Wii Sucks: An In-Depth Analysis,” your words mean absolutely nothing. This includes our own bossman John.
In a nutshell, Nintendo’s decision to target Grandma Oldlady paid off; Sony’s decision to target guys who read Sound and Vision magazine… yeah, not so much. Good luck, though.
Play what makes you happy, I say.
