Suggesting Sony to copy Nintendo on Nintendo own field is foolish like suggesting Nintendo to copy Sony on Sony own field.

It'd be foolishness for Sony to try to make their own Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit and compete on that level but if Sony wanted to follow some of Nintendo's business stategies then no.   Nintendo made a nice profit when in 3rd last gen whereas 2nd place Xbox lost 4b and even the PS2 never made the kind of $$$ the Wii is bringing in.

Sony's problem was there own arrogance.  They assumed they'd be a mass market leader again.  Just assumed it.  No plan in case that didn't happen.   Nintendo took a HUGE gamble with the Wii.  But even if it flopped then they'd still have made some profit off of it.  Sony should not have accepted the sort of losses the PS3 would bring, it's bad business but clearly they just didn't anticipate failure.

 

Sure they made quite a few errors but you can't expect Sony to follow Nintendo business model in the gaming industry.

Because not only you must have the peculiar skills of Nintendo ( no ones is more profitable than Nintendo in the gaming industry ) but you must change the vision of your entire corporation when its success in the past decade was dependable by your current business model ( a risky one but until you are successful it is difficult to have the will to change ).

When Nintendo lost its leadership position in mid '90 it wasn't for arrogance or for the use of cartridges. The cause of Nintendo  demise was that they lost their original spirit, their way of thinking has become obsolete and the new trend arising at that tiem wasn't favorable to the Kyoto company.
