Nintendo posted a net profit of 80.9 billion Japanese Yen, which is higher than its forecast but over 50 percent lower than its net profit for the same period last fiscal year.
You're viewing a single thread.
Headlines like this always imply (at least the way I read them) as “Nintendo SHOCKED profits fall unexpectedly”
But nintendo literally expected this. “Nintendo forecast lower profits this year, still beat expectations”
Far less clickbaity.

This one might as well read "your favorite company failing?!"

1 5 ReplyYes. I very clearly stated that - twice. And now for a third time - its my reading which leads to the implication.
I didn’t say the headline was clickbait. The implication to me reads as clickbait. The headline I suggested reads, to me as less clickbaity.
