Nintendo considers new business model

[Syngut]

Nintendo Co. President Satoru Iwata said the maker of video-game machines is considering a new business model after forecasting a surprise 25 billion-yen (US$240 million) annual loss because of tepid demand for the Wii U.

Perhaps Nintendo may make an offer for Transgaming!

Nintendo's problem highlights the trend of casual gamers migrating to mobile devices because they do not want to pay for a game console. However, I believe many would rather play on a large screen than a small screen. (Do you prefer watching movies on a 40" inch TV or a 4" phone?) By offering free casual games on smart TVs GameTree should be able to capture part of this market.

By offering 'free casual' games on smart TVs,  GameTree should be able to capture part of this market. The profits for TNG shareholders obviously falls from the trees. I'll do my best and not insult your intelligence.

The games are free for gamers but GameTree shares in the advertising revenues. God, how long have you been on this bulletin board and not known this?

Your playing your best dpoc by avoiding the 4 Questions and as far as far as doing you best not to insult me don't worry if you ever want to put your Brain up for Sale Just Advertise its like New Never Been USED.....

sorry for the dumb question. If Transgaming gros bought out, do we lose all of our shares or do they become more valuable ? Thanks, please forgive my noobness :)

If they offer to buy 100% of the shares, you will get paid the amount that they offer. For example if they offer 1$ a share for 100% of the shares, your shares will be sold for 1$ each to them.
