"Besides that Nintendo is making lots of money, which can't be said of the others. This is first and foremost a business and losing money isn't sustainable. Period."
There are things called investments. Nintendo only gains money by its consoles and software. Sony and MS knew very well they were going to lose money on their consoles, and still chose to do so because of the HD multimedia buiness for the years to come. It's not like they can't make the "console production cost - retail revenue" subtraction and see that they are going to bleed money.
"That's totally wrong. Just this week Iwata announced that MORE 3rd party titles sold on Wii than any other platform. You shouldn't believe the internet memes."
That could be true. But if 1500 games on Wii sell 20k copies each, that's alot of third party titles, but none of them is successfull. I'm not saying that all third party games on Wii sell bad, only that what Iwata said doesn't contradict the statement that it's difficult for third party games outside of a certain kind to sell well on the Wii.
