Are you saying that logically, since the wiiU was overpriced and wasn't profitable, then the same applies to the 3ds?

No I'm saying that, logically, since the Wii U (and original 3DS) were sold at a loss for a long time, notwithstanding their high price points, we can no longer assume overpriced still means profitable for Nintendo hardware.

That's correct. However, historically Sony hasn't been able to control their spending very well. That is what has got this company in such dire straits financially. SCE has been very successful with getting their console to market, but it has cost them massive amounts of money in marketing among other things. If the sales of the PS4 start slowing, which they eventually will, hopefully it will be a time where they are able to track the line and continue to be sustainable. It is a long time away and hopefully Sony has learned from their mistakes with the PS3, but they need to ensure they reach that line of sustainability, I don't think they are there yet and the general desire for a PS4 seems to be waning, but it could be because of a bit of a deseriable software drought.

That's not true at all. Sony combines PSP and PSV shipments. You really think that a system selling on average 20k per week shipped 700k? Lol, give me a break man.

unrelated video:

I think he's talking about #Driveclub, Killzone, and Infamous (no clue what #4 would be) as they were/are pretty big titles for the console and have been for years now (Infamous, and to a lesser extent Killzone) or been talked about as such (Driveclub).

They still have Uncharted and Bloodborne in the near, announced future, but their exclusives have not really set the world on fire at current.

MK8 really did help nintendo Q2.

but im impressed with 3DS software in japan.
probably 5 2 million sellers in a row until end of year!
YW2, MH4, SSB4,Pokemon ORAS, and YW2,5.

I think this is saving nintendo. Not wii U, MK8, amiibo nor wii U smash, is japan 3DS software.

The same however can't be said about the Wii U.

And yes, I expect UC4 to do waaaay more than 5 million. When Destiny has managed 3,3 million in a month, on an installbase of ~ 12,3 (most likely undertracked though), I'm sure UC4 will do more.

let's assume software royalties are 10 dollars per game (which is in the right ballpark based on what we know), and let's also say cod sells 7-8 million on PS4+PS3. That's 70-80 million profit from Cod alone. Then we also have GTA:V remastered, which could pull some 3 million maybe. Then there's FarCry 4 which will also do some 3-4 million at least on PS platforms. Then there's LBP3, which will probably have a profit margin of 30$ per copy sold. Even if that only sells 2 million on PS3 and PS4 combined this year, then that's 60 million profit.Then there's all the other software continuosly being sold on the PS3. Add to that profits from hardware (rember I showed you PS4 alone has been profitable since may) of roughly 15 dollars (fairly modest) and assumed sales of 7 million in the holidays, that is another 105 million dollars of profit.

except 700k are PSP + Vita, so Wii U > Vita in the end

You should read that new Polygon article. Scrap that, you shouldn't. :D
