GameStop is dead

Druckmann wins

So... how is Gamestop going to turn things around?

it's rote contrarianism.
They don't even dislike him, they just see he's well liked so they must throw shit at him

So what you're saying is...buy now?

>we're going to turn things around
>what's your plan
>ummmmmmm stop being a noisy, nagging nuisance

Wild to me how gamestop and best buy aren't dead yet

It was pretty much dead last tear, only stock memes kept it alive in a zombified state.

Wow who would have thought that was intentionally made for the casual audience would promote itself for a casual audience

You don't "retire" from a company at it's absolur peak. Japanese culture has this thing of politely firing you by forcing you to retire. It's obvious since he came out of "retirement" to work at GameStop. this dude came from VH1 or Taco bell or some shit. He didn't know anything about video games. Him and Nintendo of America are the reason the Wii U did so poorly since they are responsible for the image and marketing of the console in the most important game markert. Some of you fags literally loved him because you were 12 and the memes were hot.

This, in japanese culture a fire means you don't work in that area for life

He would refuse to localize games because casuals wouldn't play them, or give them no advertising. That was not good business

Gamestop died when games stopped being sold physically.
Even the discs that are actual CDs just download the game onto your consoles HDD, and at that point why bother keeping physical copies

>Him and Nintendo of America are the reason the Wii U did so poorly since they are responsible for the image and marketing of the console in the most important game markert.
No it was purely due to the name of the system and that the normal consumer couldn't understand that it was a entirely new system than some new add-on, which Nintendo desperately tried to correct consumers about.
Didn't help that the Wii U gimmick was poorly done with barely any games to actually showcase it except for Star Fox Zero, which was complete dogshit.

That's what marketing handles, zoom zoom. The image of the system. Wii U actually did well in Japan.

It did not, especially compared to the PS4

>Wii U actually did well in Japan.
No it didn't at all. What the fuck are you on about?

Because a disc that installs a game to your hard drive is a better option

Notice that Iwata didn't have any intentions of firing his developers or employees over the poor sales of the Wii U or the 3DS' launch fumbling. He was even adamant about not doing so otherwise.

Fuck him for almost depriving me of my favorite game

Well yeah, Iwata was the one that ignored the Wii's decline for years, can't exactly blame anyone else

>Retards don't know about the Japanese Splatoon machine
Of course it didn't sell as many as the PS4, but the Wii U and 3DS had a good run in Japan unlike the travesty of the US market having the Wii U completely fail. Europe market has always been dominated by Sony so it's irrelevant.

The most famous example obviously being Xenoblade Chronicles 1 (baffling considering it had totally usable English work from the European release), which he only relented on with an extremely limited American release after mass bitching. And, whaddya know, Xenoblade became a staple Nintendo franchise just five years after he conceded.
