Someone once told me that the best way to become rich was to take a little bit of money from a whole lot of people.

Yup. Reminds me of my signature, though I quoted him when Nintendo was doing relitively bad, so it sounded like complete ignorance. Guess the old bastard was right!

True, no one really took heart to it since the 'casual' market didn't really show itself to be as big as it could be until the Wii. To repeat what you said, Guess the old bastard was right.

Or you know just make things in general that people want.

Two of their highest sellers that quarter were Brawl and Kart which I doubt werre cheap.

Still much cheaper than the average PS360 game.

And Nintendo is just being very clever, can you blame them?

I don't get why you have so many knee-jerk reactions when it comes to Nintendo. 5 million copies of Wii Play is going to make them a lot more money than 5 million copies of Brawl. Relatively inexpensive games in cost, big on revenue. It's not an insult it's business.
