Found this on GoNintendo: http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/113524/companies-where-employees-losing-hope-247-2

Nintendo is listed as number six, just under the United States Postal service (or is it over?).

Thoughts?

I bet 50% of DSi owners think they have the latest Nintendo handheld.

from the Gears of War Launch there was this guy that said that he wanted a 3DS but didn't want to get another "DS" implying that it was the same system.

This is getting ridiculous ... The 3DS is doing fine. Not a meteroric rise to success but come Christmas it'll be in a much better place.

Ninty made some mistakes, no doubt. Arrogance much like old SONY drove them to it, but they've learned from it far faster.

It has an identity issue. Gamers such as yourself will be able to list the differences in hardware, however average gamers just see it as another DS.

Ninty know this, and have tried to rectify it with their ad's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRrviEHeN2M

They could still stand to make it more clear though.

lol at "inch-perfect precision controls." I hope it's a little more accurate than that. XD

I find it ironic that Yahoo would even dare to publish such an article. They are a company that is really struggling for relavance in a world where everyone uses Google to do everything they do and to a much higher standard. If I worked for Yahoo, I would be losing hope. Reminds me of the Iraqi Information Minister.

There's no doubt Nintendo has been making some mistakes as of late, but the article makes it appear a lot worse than it actually is.

All this hate on "N" - sheesh, TC must think all the Sony & MS employees are always happy as clams - why you hate Nintendo so much TC ? :twisted:

Sorry bud, but if once maybe a year I create a thread that contains negative news against "N" or Sony and that's the kind of posting I get. :P

Anyhoo, it does seem "N" has a uphill struggle to regain some gamers confidence in them.

Nintnedo has definitely made some mistakes, and the Vita impresses me more, but the 3DS will be close to the Vita in sales, if not ahead I would guess. I personally am tryign to decide if I should buy one now or not, since there are tons of games coming in the near future.
