I think it's very possible. What does /v/ think?
Go back there.
>>724975325>BRO, DISNEY IS JUST BUYING THE SEATS!
>>724975325I know this thread is supposed to laugh at dumb redditors but you faggots are just as dumb, there were several people in the Ubisoft thread telling me they fake all the sales numbers on their games.
>>724975325why would they do that?
Of course they're not fake, the world economy isn't fake either, billionaries definitely aren't just moving money around to eachother to make it seem like the fake numbers actually mean anything, the economy is fine, everything is fine
>>724975453Why wouldnt they? Its common practice in stage events like concerts and plays to 'sell out' the room this way, so why would theatres somehow be exempt?

>people unironically resorting to fake numbers due to believing the online hate mob
>>724975325>Faking their numbersThats fucking retarded. What they actually did was ship out the Pokemon bundles in September to pad the numbers
They've been faking it for years. Hopefully once Palworld destroys them in court the entire scam gets blown wide open.
>>724976210Nintendeen here. Making a video on this right now
>>724975325They aren't, no. However, the Chinese are importing it in record numbers because it's so readily available to purchase. So it's inflated in the same way PC gaming numbers are.
>>724976210>What they actually did was ship out the Pokemon bundles in September to pad the numbersThis is what actually usually happens, they're not lying *technically* but they use underhanded tactics to boost numbers. For instace GTAV gives you a shitload of shark cards right at the start so GTAO fans would literally just buy more copies of GTAV for more shark cards even if they already owned the game. Which allowed Take Two to pump up GTAV's sales even more
>>724975325Yes. They are desperately to dethrone Sony but it will never work
>>724975708This cat speaks the truth.
>>724975809Did OP just screencap his own reddit thread?
>>724975752I'ma let you come up the reason why padding a single event audience is different from supposedly buying out seats in thousands of theaters simultaneously across the country.
>>724975325It is illegal to defraud investors by lying about sales numbers. And not "small fine" illegal, either, it's "go to federal prison for years" illegal. No one would be stupid enough to do that for Nintendo of all companies.
>>724978909Organized crime is illegal, too, and yet nobody has de-Yakuza'd Nintendo, and Umamasume remains a product you can buy.
>>724975325Some people should go out more
>>724975708beautiful cat I want to hug him and give him treats
>>724975708Also trvth
>>724975453They did for black panther.
>>724975325Show me hard proof, don't just talk outta your ass.
>>724975708Everything IS fine, there's nothing that shows it isn't.
>>724978132No he doesn't. No one's starving, everyone's making money. Everything IS fine.
>>724975325Nintendo is a publicly traded company, if they fudge their sale numbers they would be in huge troubles.
You guys realize public companies are audited right? They can't just make up a number and release it to the market
>>724982764What makes you think they'll ever tell anyone?
>>724983024Audits, you dumb dumb.
>>724983024Remember Enron?
>>724983024People will eventually find out that they're not making as much money as they claim.Lying to your customers is one thing, companies are clearly able to get away with it to some extent.Lying to your rich shareholders that will sue the fuck out of you is suicide. It happens, but it's not common.
>>724983024you need to be 18+ to post here
>>724975325Obviously. Slants lie. Bingtendo is obviusly near financial collapse. Why do you think yamato nadesikos can be had for 1500 yen in every public park in Tokyo.
>>724975325hoenstly they probably are faking numbers.i know very few people irl who have or care about switch 2.its in stock everywhere too.
>>724975325Can they lie to the public like that? Aren't there investor that can sue them in that case?Please respond in good faith, I don't know business
>>724975410FIRST POST, FUCK THE OP POST.>>724975453They did for black panther, and more obviously captain marvel 1. They donated them to black and womesn groups and got a huge tax break. Faking sales of physical products is idiotic.>>724975631Ubisoft doesn't fake on investor reports. They don't report sales at all on their flops.
Probably not fake. They where stocking consoles for ages so unlike almost every other console launch, people can actually buy the thing.The PS5 had shit launch sales, because the only couple of them around was being sold by scalpers for 300% msrp.
>>724978353Yes, but this seems to have drawn all the company wars shitposters so they leve the rest of us the fuck alon.
>>724975325/v/ - Reddit
>>724984056Another problem arises when the shareholders don't want to be left holding the bag, so they don't call out the obvious lies, as that makes it harder to offload onto some other fool. That's how a pyramid scheme gets perpetuated. And then the people OUTSIDE of the pyramid scheme get raped harder in taxes, because everything is arbitrarily deemed to be "higher valued".
>>724984287Yes, they can. Financial statements are statements of opinion by the company, not objective fact. Investors are only permitted to see as much of a company's operations as required for them to invest: look at how Enron operated in the early 2000s to see how little they actually mean. There's no way for anyone to know what Nintendo's real sales or profits are because those are treated as trade secrets and protected by law.
>>724984287They cant lie. They took a different strategy. They were sitting on the switch 2 for years, they spent years just manufacturing so supply is maintained. most new consoles simply run out of supply, the s2 is in stock everywhere and never sold out. so it gets to be best selling. if they made enough wiis or super nintendos they could have been selling too
>>724975325>Is nintendo committing fraud?
>>724975325Reaction to the Switch 2 was very positive and it sold well because people wanted to buy it. Your average Nintendo consumer is not a grumpy cynical loser on Reddit who focuses on minor details that hardly anyone even notices.
>>724984561it's definitely possible to jew the numbers but to outright lie is a stretch
>>724975325This sounds like those people who say>Disney Parks are dying>The attendance numbers are droppingBased off the waiting times that Disney publishes for rides rather than actual quarterly reports. It's a mirage.
>>724984598definitely but not the banking type of fraud
>>724984651>minor details that hardly anyone even notices.herro prease buy our console. oopsy one minor detail that hardly anyone will notice: we have no games for it. that's right, those past 3 years with no games for the switch 1? actuarry we have no game for switch 2 too. rawl. cum 2 nintendo land watch nintendo movie gaijin no need game
>>724975325>r/fucknintendo So a bunch of circlejerking nintendo haters that have been deluding themselves into thinking nintendo has ben failing for the past 4 months have trouble believing all those articles weren't actually bull shit and the switch 2 is actually selling like crazy
these terminally online retards really think they're making a difference with their shitposting and that reality will warp itself to match the dumb shit they're saying
>>724975325These people need to learn that the world is bigger than what they see on twitter. People have been asking and waiting for a "switch but better" for half a decade. Most people do not give a shit about digital key cards, nor do they care about digital games as a whole. Negative public perception has bascially boiled down to people just outright making shit up like nintendo severing their console for playing a used game, whipping themselves into a frenzy, and them moving on when it's proven fake and gay, pretending it never happened and itching for the next thing to be mad about.>8 minutes ago >r/fucknintendoOP be honest, is this you?
>>724975325Obviously. I havent seen a single person with the switch 2 in public.
>>724975325Wait, there's actually a subreddit called "FuckNintendo"? And there are people who discuss things seriously there?And I thought it exist something even more ridiculous than the answers and reactions for the weekly famitsu threads here on /v/.
>>724985750>I havent seen a single person with the switch 2 in public.Neither have I but then again I live in India and its not officially released here yet
>>724975325>whatever physical games it has are shown to be anti-preservationist key cards instead of actual gamesThis is how I know the whole thing is a shitpost and the Egobyte83 doesn't even know what he's talking about.But what else could I have possibly expected from a sub called fucknintendo?
>>724975325>/r/fucknintendoGo back and stop raiding /v/
