Again I ask:  What is your point?  You are saying Sony could have made a lot more profit if not for the R&D costs they incurred to develop PS3, Cell and Blu-ray.

You are saying Nintendo would not have survived if they spent their hand held profits just like Sony did into their R&D.

What this thread is all about is that Nintendo has an acute business acumen that prevented them from spending ridiculous amounts of R&D on such matters as more power, more realistic graphics, larger data formats, when their R&D showed that this is not what their customers (both core and expanded audience) wanted.  True, if Nintendo spent their profits like Sony did, they may not have survived... but they weren't that stupid.

Tell me, of the two companies:  Who received more bang for their buck as far as R&D costs go?  We're not talking absolute amounts here as that doesn't matter.  Who spent their money more wisely?  Whose R&D bore more fruit? If the worst happened to both companies (Nintendo having several generations just like the gamecube or Sony having several generations like the PS3 and PSP) which company will likely survive?

Don't bother man. It's useless trying to explain logic and reasoning with him.

Yes Sony are the greatest and Nintendo know nothing about the business they've been in longer than any other company on the face of the earth.

Happy now??

i didn't say they wouldn't survived but they wouldn't be in the same position

again you are going of the point

you think just because SONY lost this generation they were not wise but they only did it for the future BLU-RAY profits and PS4 will benefit from low price

and YES SONY would have had more profit if their R&D was a bit low

Nintendo was wise but people just saying that Nintendo profits even while losing more than SONY and trying to troll isn't right as alot of what SONY does is for the future products.

explain logic and you are you are talking about it? - a man who says he does have time after 2 posts just because the other poster is 17years old....................LMAO

^Huh?

huh huh

Sony is in no way, shape or form a monopoly. 

*ready's the nuke*

Yes.

As good a company as Sony is, I can't see them posing any threat to Nintendo in the foreseeable future. Sony have chosen their path, and unfortunately this means that they are doomed to spending the rest of their lives creating consoles as expensive and powerful machines. Their fans would be in dismay if they didn't make their console considerably more powerful each generation, and this is going to turn out very expensive for Sony eventually. 

Profit = Live

Say what you will about sales, hardware, software, what have you. One thing that can't be denied is that Nintendo knows how to make a profit. So no, they won't be killed. Whether they will sell the most stuff is an entirely different question.
