Anyone thinking Nintendo's outlook is bleaker than Sony's is simply living in another reality, whichever way you cherrypick or spin it (not that Nintendo's looks fantastic).


Sony still has a lot of profitable divisions including their gaming one. Nintendo on the other hand...


Are you living in fantasy land?

Sony has WAY TO MANY DEBTS.

Nintendo has none.

 

SONY HAS NET LOSSES

Nintendo has net profits (operation losses tho)

 

SONY FIRES PEOPLE SELLS BUILDINGS

Nintendo builds statuses, goes on hiring sprees

 

SONY BREAKS EVEN ON GAMING DUE TO EXORBITANT SPENDING

Nintendo profits off gaming. (MS loses money like a bitch)

 

VITA SELLS LESS THAN THE SEGA SATURN

WiiU sells more than dreamcast

 

SONY IS DOOMED

NINTENDO IS DOOMED

WE"RE ALL DOOMED

From a purely gaming perspective Nintendo has a lot more genres they need to cover if they want to sell more hardware

In the west for instance, they should put out a Metroid PRime on the 3DS. A super metroid on WiiU for the japanese


Sony's gaming division is profitable. Nintendo is forecasting losses for the whole year. With the 3DS slowing down and the WiiU not going anywhere, expect the situation to get worse. Well, I suppose their future unwearable items can be a massive success.


And maybe Sony will sell you insurance too. Maybe they'll hire flo from progressive! That'll be huge!

3DS is selling more than the GBA

Nintendo's losses are from their share buyback

Nopes and you know you're making stuff up (as if shares buyback would ever be counted in losses):

Nintendo said the main reason for the downgrade in its forecast is weak console sales during the run up to Christmas.

Where did you get your GBA numbers also? Did GBA also sell less than 13M in its 3rd year?

Its selling better than GBA Japan. America is down by a huge margin and worldwide is down as well.

Yeah, 3DS selling 10 million for  each western territory is news to those devs. Nintendo's gotta go at it for that market.

GBA was at 11.54 million in its 154 week of sales.

3DS is at 15 million already in the same space in Japan.

Its up YOY so far in the west so thats a plus at least.

Why is 3DS sales both increasing and decreasing YoY?
Make up your mind people.

That's nice that they're ahead of the GBA in Japan. A shame that sales are down YoY for the second year in a row, right?
