hmmmm, I'm going to relish this for a little while. So contrary to the freak out by ckmlb a couple months ago, my "today DoCoMo, tomorrow Toyota" comment was quite prescient. The amazing thing is Nintendo is still in the first year of the Wii which is when profits are supposed to be low. Imagine what will happen in a couple years when the Wii is making a proft at $100, selling millions a month and MarioKart/Zelda/Animal Crossing/MP9/Mario Sports are selling on a system with 50+ million users.

My new bold claim, Nintendo will be in a position to easily buy Sony soon.

 100$ profit  Isn't it the case now?

Buying Sony then they have to be huge, Sony is not only gaming it is a hell lot more.

I'm a bit confused on the first part.  I said "at $100" not "of $100", of course Nintendo is making a profit now but only selling a million or so Wii's a month.  When the Wii is making a profit at $100 then Nintendo will be selling far more systems.  Might be a smaller profit but all the extra game/peripheral sales will more than make up for it.

On the second part, I know that being able to buy Sony is huge but so was saying Nintendo would move up to the top tier of the top ten list a couple months ago.  Actually buying Sony may not be so huge, I know if I had Sony stock I'd be more than happy to trade it for Nintendo stock these days.
