    Fantastic video as per usual and really appreciate the amount of research you put into this! It'd be really cool if you checked out the Heinz company next. (PS, for better Search Engine Optimization, you may want to consider putting 'Pokemon Go' first in your tags and in your description somewhere)

  • @dannydaghavarian9185
    @dannydaghavarian9185 7 лет назад

    your videos are awesome!!!! sooooo much information in such a small time frame, getting rid of the music is a good idea.. I have one suggestion, the tempo of your narration can be a little bit fast to absorb, I find myself having to skip back a few time to full grasp your presentations. could you also present the evolution of the telephone (from start to now).
    keep up the great work :)

    This was a great video, I think you missed out a few things. Nintendo saved the video gaming industry in 1983. I think most people know the story but the summary is that they checked and made sure that games were of good quality with the "Nintendo Seal of Approval". And that helped the quality of games to get back to the highest level (no E.T. nonsense, yay!).

    • @TheBaldr
      @TheBaldr 7 лет назад +2

      Actually it was their marketing campaign, it not a game console, but a toy line. They went great lengths to market it as a toy right at the peak of the 80s toy craze.

    • @BusinessCasual
      @BusinessCasual  8 лет назад

      Since market cap is essentially just shares outstanding multiplied by share value, you can just track Nintendo's stock price: www.investing.com/equities/nintendo-ltd
      It has come down from its ridiculous Pokemon-induced highs, but it's still up 40% from pre-launch.

    Nintendo (and segas) biggest problem was, they didnt switch to CD-Roms(and later dvds). Sega could have, but opted for their own special formatted cd-roms, which killed them.

    @nickcameron4107 7 лет назад

    while the pc may have been a factor in the slump of consols in '83, it is generally more attributed to the haste and overproduction of titles at the time. What Nintendo did differently was to get its consol and games in the toy section and market respectively

    do some more research on the Virtual Boy, Gunpei wasnt "convinced it would be a hit", and the way you portray his death by getting "rekt" by a car is very disrespectful.

    • @BusinessCasual
      @BusinessCasual  8 лет назад +43

      Firstly, I'm sorry if my portrayal of Gunpei's death has offended you. Secondly, you've got your quote wrong. It's "Hiroshi was convinced the Virtual Boy would work". This has a totally different meaning from what you've written, and it is factually correct.
