It sucks, but Nintendo shouldn't have to eat economic factors out of their control. About a week after I bought a computer in October the price of the parts I bought went up about $250 total. Console's shouldn't be exempt from the situation.

The unfortunate thing here is that Microsoft and Sony have such deep pockets that they seem to be willing to eat losses in their game divisions whereas Nintendo can't exactly fall back on it's other sources of income since the gaming industry is all it has. It ends up making Nintendo look bad for trying to make a buck.

 

Don't know about that part. Whats sony falling back on nowadays? Yet..they haven't bumped the price. It really seems like greed on ninty's side honestly. It's not like they're taking a loss, it that the profits aren't as high as they used to be yet everyone ignores this little fact LMAO.

 

Granted Sony's not exactly in the best shape lately, but my point was more along the lines that at least they have other sources of revenue to help offset game division losses. Microsoft has lost money for years from their gaming division, and it barely registers against their massive revenues. Nintendo on the other  hand, could they really afford to sit there and take losses for years at a time without folding?

I know that's an over simplification, but I think there's a fundamental difference in how Sony and Microsoft approach profitibility in their game divisions compared to Nintendo.

What you ignore is that gaming has been sony's most profitable division for years so they're much like nintendo now. Their other division have been trailing but it was never a problem because PS carried everything. Nintendo can take losses as well, I'm pretty sure they have back up money. They also have a billionaire behind them. They just don't want to and aren't. They just want record profits to keep coming!

As for M$, I agree....windows...'nuff said.
