Ah, the ever-changing video-gaming market sure is interesting...

Nice find!

 

 

Also, can you (or anybody) have any of the companies' posted sales (profits/losses) since 2001?

Is that even possible...? I try to find it, but it is not easy...

Totals 1,953,000,000 10,762,000,000 -6,369,000,000

Profits in $ (I believe it is net profits, but could be operating... I hope it isn't mixed)

Also it is missing some recent additions.... it is updated as of the end of June 2008.

Wow, Nintendo raped everyone doing the Gamecube gen. I wish I could go back in time and show this data to the people that predicted that Nintendo would go the way of Sega. I wonder what they would say? OH, wait this is the internet and they'd never believe me or challenge the data because it does not support their belife.

 



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

yeah that some good data that guy gathered thanx for showing the VGC community it

Reminds me of my pricing thread although i don't have ps2xboxgamecube info maybe i should work on that......nah

I was looking for your thread earlier... I didn't look very long because my lunch was ready, but do you have a link so I can bookmark (I needed it for a thread about the X360 attch ratio as I want to know if there were any 360 bundles other than the ones over Christmas 07/08)

@psWii60... it has done it's rounds on VGC a number of times.... it's from a poster on neoGAF I believe, but you can find all the information yourself on the investor relations websites of the 3 companies, although exchange rates differ so it can get a bit complicated changing fom Yen to $.... which is another thing I am not certain about that table, if the GAF poster started in the middle of it then he may have used a blanket exchange rate for the past Yen amounts. I might check it out someday, but I can't be bothered now.

 People forget that nintendo also had a monopoly on the handheld market till the psp launched. GC wasn't the only thing generating profit.

That's a bit obsessive.

And yes I am a bugger for not bookmarking things I want to.... I have only recently built up a collection of useful titbits.

Jan, Feb, May, June, July 08 is when the PS3 actually beat the 360 in sales.

Interesting looking back at OG XBox sales that they won a few months. It's like a reversal of sales looking at the 360 versus the original XBox.

The 360 launch and MS's product halt of original XBox systems really effected sales big time, and only when there was a shortage of 360's (December) was this NOT apparent.



It's just that simple.
