For the first time since the ps1 launched, you're right. 
But you should not forget how Nintendo was pummeled almost into oblivion for 2 generations.

The ps3 has shipped and sold more than both nintendos previous consoles. and the Wii may never hit PS1 or PS2 dominance.

Yea, its convenient how you forget to mention that they were ALWAYS profitable, so they were never "pummeled" according to your definition of success.


And in case you didn't notice i said gen. 8 starts with the 3DS. The business model includes both handhelds and consoles.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
