Pokemon is killing Nintendo

take the FULL quote




which in the end states that its their IP's that give it that value

He's not wrong.

Here's how the conversation went down:

Doesn't Nintendo have so much money that they can afford to be in the red for something like 20 years with no problem?

Yes they do. But you said:

its not that they have that much money, but their IP's are worth so much, they can last till 2050 selling off IP's. of course, its more likely that they will take their IP's to the gave if it became that serious.

Which is not true because Malthe pointed out:

"Nintendo have 812.8 billion Yen (£6.7/$10.5 billion) in the bank – enough for it to take a 20 billion Yen loss (£163/$257 million) every year until 2052. Then there’s almost 469 billion Yen (£3.8/$6.0 billion) held in premises, equipment and investments. When that runs out – we’re in the year 2075 by this point."

So without their IPs they'll live until 2050 and well more than 20 years.
