Title: Is Wii supply still short?
Post by: Viper_Fujax on April 06, 2009, 01:36:32 AM: It\'s late and I have a shit-fuck group to work with at school. we\'re doing the nintendo wii and stuff it could do for the future (not important, but just to give you context)

I cant find any legitimate sources on the topic of their production problems.most google searches are from like 2006. cnn had a thing about them boosting production for 2008\'s chirstmas season but..no shit

I need to find out if theyre still having the production problems or not. and even if they are if they should just keep it where it\'s at now since it\'s probably not as big of a problem as a year or 2 ago

at first i thought it was all a marketing ploy to make people think that it\'s insanely popular, therefore they should get one too. but now im thinking the shortage problem was an issue, but they liked having that benefit of consumers views being that everyone is buying a wii..hence why they didnt bend over backwards to correct the problem, which they probably couldve if they really wanted to

THEY picked the nintendo wii out of a bunch of random companies..i didnt give a fuck what comapny it was since a project is a project. The problem is that none fo them know shit about the industry...so any idea i have, I get no feedback because theyre a bunch of dumbfucks that cant do a little research before meeting. I dont blame them for not knowing about ps3/wii/360, but do some fucking looking up

the projects about the future of the company..so what did these brainiacs do? they used a group members marketing paper about the wii from a year and a half ago and it was a about the present of the company....back then.

I repeated more than 4 times that they need to focus on the future and come up with ideas/solutions...nothing. So when 1 out of 5 is the only one that knows whats right and wrong, the 4 out of 5 win and they end up spending forever "updating" the marketing paper so its about the present..so we were stuck with a 10 page paper about the present of the company, which were supposed to have a 5 page paper about the future

so i decided, fuck them, and wrote a 4 page paper about the future and making them use that. I kept a page of their shit as an intro just to say i kept their stuff in tact

Still have to make the paper look nice with graphs and do a powerpoint on top of a bunch of work in all my other classes

bunch of fucking queefs

not expecting anyone to read this..just need to vent before i flip out on the group. Wouldnt mind telling them whats on my mind if we didnt have to do a presentation on this stuff...after that im not saying shit to them

Post by: Viper_Fujax on April 17, 2009, 07:27:03 PM: One of the group members decided to actually start working and started talking..thats why it\'s longer than 5 pages and has a whole section on financial stuff. professor didnt seem to adament about it being only 5 pages of text, even though thats what he recommended

was a cluster-fuck making the paper so its not the best stuff. and I had to get rid of the graphs and stuff since the file was too large to upload
