[Definitive] Nintendo Wii Thread


Recommended Posts

Profit doesn't mean much. These comanies don't care a whole lot about making money on the consoles at this point. They just want to have the most poular one. The numbers speak for themselves. Nintendo was 3rd in sales last round, ie: they lost.

Haha, my god that's so damn stupid. If that's the case why don't they just sell the Xbox 360 or the Revolution for $1.99 and that obviously means an instant win. Regardless of the fact that they would've lost billions of dollars.

They are all businesses, profit = win. That's the end of that.

When did anyone ever say that they should get out of the buisness? But really, just look at Sega. You can't stay #3 forever. In the long run, it's going to lead to lost profits. It's not that hard to understand. Also, Apple is basically a niche market (though that's changing). I remember the days when Nintendo was the clear leader. They should't be a niche market (not that I'm saying they are right now, but it's leading that way if the trend continues). Xbox selling 1 million more consoles than Nintendo in Microsofts first enterence into the console market is no small thing. This is Nintendo. They should have beaten the Xbox.

Whoever is watching the stream can you describe what they are talking about?! Or does anyone know if there is a text stream/blog somewhere.

LOL, excellent song they chose to start conference, hopefully this is last song.

I meant at this point. You have to look at the big picture. Like I said, this is a war that is going to go on for several console releases. Subsequent releases will mean less of a loss and more profit for the company that comes out as #1. In the long run, the company that is #1 will make the most profits. You can't just stay at #3 all the time.

Someone asked for a text stream:

Thank you.

The delay is they are trying to get Miyamoto in his Link costume!

I saw this on GAF:

CONFERENCE: Sources on the ground have confirmed that the famed developer is preparing to make an appearance.

Hideo Kojima has been spotted by sources on the ground at the Nintendo E3 press conference. These sources believe that Mr. Kojima, famous for his work on the Resident Evil series, will be unveiling a new project for either the NDS or the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. It is unknown whether he will be speaking at length or just making a short appearance at this time.'

Isn't he the creator of Metal Gear?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
