Nintendo can't risk making a console that's not profitable for them... Microsoft and Sony (being ultra RICH compared to Nintendo and much more profitable) CAN risk it.. and that's what Sony's been doing... but you know the saying "What goes around comes around", right? The years Sony took to invest in the PS3 and make it as high-end as possible will ulitmately be good for them.. games and movies will bring back the money they've lost creating the PS3 AND more. But this is something we'll just have to wait and see. Microsoft's Live will give it the money it so desperately wants... That was the case with the Xbox, that would be the case with the 360.
