| oni-link said: Nintendo never made a loss on the GCN. Losing money on a console even a $1 has never been an option for the company. Many press conferences and reports have shown that GCN was never sold for a loss and the statement that they loss a $1 on the console just shows how desperate ppl are to make up crap that isn't even true. Actually it looks quite embarrassing and desperate how ppl make shit up!!! Sony on the other hand has always lost money on consoles and with the upcoming Move bundle and price war with M$...I doubt the long term sustainability of the profit they are making on the PS3!!! |
Dont really care about Nintendo selling a console at a loss or not.
As for the upcoming price war. I think this is a just a dream for some people. I think what you are going to see is all 3 of them looking to maximize profits the rest of this generation. Sony isnt going to sacrifice profitability to sell a couple extra million consoles per year. Sure you will see price cuts, but they wont put the console cost above the price any longer. MS has been there for a while and they are going to do everything they can to stay right about where they are with Sony in sales and minimally reduce the price. MS could have easily stayed profitable and reduced prices $50 on the Xbox 360s Arcade and non Arcade, but they said "why?". Lets pursue the Wii through Kinect and let Sony do the same with Move.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
