the_rowan 04/26/12 9:38:00 PM #67:	I don't see how Nintendo can claim competition between retailers will drive prices down below what we'd have if they just removed the completely unnecessary middleman who by definition raises the price and made the big wholesale arrow point directly to the consumer. What do you need a retailer for with digital distribution? It's not like removing the retailer removes competition; that competition is just between different studios then. But by including the retailer, you just add a middleman that wants a cut and adds it onto the price for no other benefit (since digital distribution is not any harder to do without a retailer). -- "That is why war is so tragic.

GuessMyUserName 04/26/12 11:21:00 PM #72:	I really like this As you know, all of my remarks and explanations on our digital business are kept and made available for public viewing on our IR site inside Nintendo’s official website. Unfortunately, as some people seem to have a misunderstanding, I would like to once again sum up my comments here. First, we clearly distinguish digital distribution of packaged software from add-on content and, when it comes to making packaged software digitally available, we do not intend to offer any products that the consumers deem incomplete. Second, we sell add-on content so that the consumers can play a software title for even longer and on a deeper level and, when we sell this add-on content, we are making a proposal to consumers to pay for the content our developers have additionally created. In other words, as we have repeatedly confirmed, Nintendo has never conducted and will never conduct what is now widely known (in Japan) as a “gacha-type charging business” (capsule toy vending machine business), which asks consumers to pay money without knowing what kind of item shall emerge as a result of their payment, even if such a business model might temporarily yield high profitability. Nintendo does not believe such a business model can establish long-lasting relationships with our consumers. We hope that everyone understands our policy, and we will continue to make efforts to avoid such misunderstandings as, “the next ‘Animal Crossing’ might be a game which relies upon add-on content sales.” -- http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/alt0165/sojin.gif <cite>GuessMyUserName posted [p:1081871] in Nintendo&#...

Doesn't everyone.... just... download the game from nintendo/whatever game manufacturer directly? The model is describing their retail strategy, and they are explaining that their digital distribution will act as a retailer in that it will compete with retailers directly. Because Nintendo isn't forcing retailers to set the games at a certain price, then theoretically the retailers can sell games for cheaper than $60 if they want, and then if Nintendo wants people to buy their games digitally, they will have to respond to the market and reduce the price on their eShop.

neonreaper 04/27/12 6:02:00 AM #82:	*foolm0ron posted...* Animal Crossing is literally the perfect game to have microtransactions and additional content on. People are complaining about that? Well you know how people freak out and think that racing games are going to be like 3 tracks and 2 cars and you have to buy everything else a la cart? It's probably along those lines, where Nintendo is sick of people acting like they're going to be treating their customers like drug addicts and releasing new furniture and bugs and stuff every month. -- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?

neonreaper 04/27/12 6:14:00 AM #83:	*PartOfYourWorld posted...* $400 absolute MINIMUM for this console. Nintendo has been dropping hints for like a year, that controller sure as hell doesn't look cheap, and with full games available for download on launch day, it'll need a fat hard drive. This won't be a $300 "everyman" machine. That won't exist next gen. 400 is the max I'd think. They want to establish a relationship with the typical gamer now, but I don't think they can overcharge for their console knowing that the big boys are coming in a year or two. -- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?

StifledSilence 04/27/12 6:54:00 AM #97:	*GuessMyUserName posted...* I really like this As you know, all of my remarks and explanations on our digital business are kept and made available for public viewing on our IR site inside Nintendo’s official website. Unfortunately, as some people seem to have a misunderstanding, I would like to once again sum up my comments here. First, we clearly distinguish digital distribution of packaged software from add-on content and, when it comes to making packaged software digitally available, we do not intend to offer any products that the consumers deem incomplete. Second, we sell add-on content so that the consumers can play a software title for even longer and on a deeper level and, when we sell this add-on content, we are making a proposal to consumers to pay for the content our developers have additionally created. In other words, as we have repeatedly confirmed, Nintendo has never conducted and will never conduct what is now widely known (in Japan) as a “gacha-type charging business” (capsule toy vending machine business), which asks consumers to pay money without knowing what kind of item shall emerge as a result of their payment, even if such a business model might temporarily yield high profitability. Nintendo does not believe such a business model can establish long-lasting relationships with our consumers. We hope that everyone understands our policy, and we will continue to make efforts to avoid such misunderstandings as, “the next ‘Animal Crossing’ might be a game which relies upon add-on content sales.” Nintendo just dropped the motherf*ing gauntlet on Capcom.
