20 years plus of Sony dominance??? What are you smoking? Your Sony 'owning" doesn't really amount to too much profit for Sony. Nintendo's profit throughout the entire video game business is far greater than Sony could ever dream of.

Profit is a different subject all together and has lilttle to do with the OP's thread. But really what that should tell you is Sony expands and pushes the consoles where Nintendo just updates thier existing console. It is easy to make profit when you have very little R&D costs. For example, you have the GB, GBcolor, GBA,. Ds, Dsi ect.... These are not new products, just slightly updated. Same goes for the Wii. Aside from the controls the Wii is an updated Game Cube. In contrast the Playstation has drasticly improved the performance of thier consoles, not only in formats, but processing power as well.
I guess trillions of dollars in profit is not much. Yes, Nintendo has made more profit, but thats because they charge $250 for a $100 pc. of hardware and $30 controller.

Tell me this is a joke post.
Nintendo don't update their consoles?
Maybe you weren't around for the NES and SNES and N64 and GC and Wii. So the PS1 to PS2 was a bigger leap than N64 to GC???
Low R+D costs????? WTF!!

ha yea no kidding, really the PS3 seems the exact same as the PS2, which is the same as PS1. All just better graphics from previous generation. same controllers every gen (yea i know slowly adding a dual stick) but seriously you could play ps1 games on ps3 and basically holding exact same controller.
not that controllers are everything, but nintendo has gone from the nes one, to the 64 one, to the gamecube one. Sure they are just all different designs for buttons I guess so no biggy. But then you can't say that there is no R&D for the DS and the Wii.
A touch screen gaming handheld, and then a (well say waggle to make you happy) gaming system. But I guess the R&D to make a reliable touch screen handheld and feasable wii controller and all that is miniscule compared to the R&D put into THE CELL.
