Or do you suggest that with 'last place' in the first sentence they mean last place in terms of profit?

 

"Kids may love Zelda and Mario, but that won't be enough to keep Nintendo out of last place in a three-way battle to dominate the $6.5 billion videogame market".

That may talk about revenue or profit, but not about hardware marketshare. How can Nintendo be in last place (in the 6.5 billion videogame market) if they sold more software than the xbox? Add to that the fact that GC outsold the Xbox in Software/hardware sales for several years. It was late into the race that xbox outsold the GC (shipment data).

 

This article was written before the aftermath you are talking about, so saying 'how can Nintendo be in last place if they sold more software than the xbox? etc' is unlogical as a comment to words spoken prior to the things you have knowledge about now. Even if they were talking about profit, your comment doesn't make sense. 

 

Are you dumb or are you making that on purpose?

they were quite right actually, cause the GC turned out to get the last place, and MS beated Nintendo even without having a Japanese market; so it's not fanboyish at all

How does that makes your comment more logical than mine? We both know the outcome. Forbes made a prediction and they were wrong. Nintendo profits were bigger than MS losses. MS won in "hardware units marketshare". Nintendo sold more software, had a higher revenue and profits. Sony sold more sofware and hardware, but they made less money than Nintendo.

Stop derailing the thread with pointless comments.
