This needs to apply to all. Every one of these companies (Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft) has had one or more of these problems before.

I can understand Sony and Microsoft falling under that label, but I haven't seen much from Nintendo which meets those criteria for a while now.

This gen, no. Nintendo was quite arrogant at some points in the past though.

The videogame industry has a way of eating companies alive.  Nintendo has had the best track record, but had slipped in the past.  I believe a company ends up on top, and then feels they are now the de facto standard for videogames, and they act like it.  They project a ton of superiority that is seen as causing people to line up behind them and remain loyal (the Saturn VCR promo tape I got, and ads by Sega against Sony showed this also).  When on top, they also probably end up believing they figure it out.  Well, what usually happens is there is some sort of trend that is the next big thing, that the company totally missed and someone else jumps to the top.  We have seen Sony get on top by guessing disk media and polygons were what customers wanted, while Sega and Nintendo missed it (Sega with sprites over polygons, and polygons being a Saturn hack, and Nintendo on ROMs over disks).  Now Nintendo got it right with motion control.  A company on top has to keep acting like they are the boss and leader, or they lose the aura of being the no-brainer choice.  In the end, sales numbers show otherwise, and the company ends up needing to retrench, as Sony appears to be now.  Nintendo also had to do this, with the fairly humble "Wii want to play" ad, for example.

I said it was a troll post before you said what you really meant, take that into account.

Actually, I still think it was trolling....just a bit.

There is absolutely no way in hell that the PS3 alone made $1 billion in profit in a single quarter, while PS2 slowed down, PSP slowed down, and the PS3 was selling more consoles at a bigger loss than usual due to a recent price cut. All 3 systems made less money.

But you could tell the article was gonna be baloney as soon as they claimed the PS3 has been outselling the Wii for several months in all regions.

Bzzzzzz WRONG! Ps3 selling at less loss because of the price cut.

Are you sure about that?

Kaz himself confirmed it (right after price cuts)... along with isuppli. So, yes, I am sure about that.

So the manufacuturing costs and price both dropped $100 overnight?

I don't see how I'm crazy for assuming that price cuts hurt profit.  They always do.

But if you got a link for that, I'll believe it.

Also, I find anything in the post hard to believe since it claimed that the PS3 has been outselling the Wii for several months in all regions.  When somebody says something that crazy I think it's fair to attack their credibility.
