TWRoO, a 249$ Wii bundled with a game. And PS3 launched at 499/599$, that also a factor. =)


Hm. What does your sentence tell you? The GC made Ninty more money than PS2 made Sony. Nintendo packed the Wii with a game at $249, and Sony released a console at 500/600 at the same time.

The only factor I see is that Sony has lousy business sense and it has caused them to bleed profusely........ The console may have great games, but Sony has stockholders that need to see better than this. And THEY don't care about PS3/GC/XBox aligned launches. But they do care about and WILL control the future of Sony's gaming business if things don't change....

Have a link? If you don't I assume you are just picking your nose so I can add you to my ignore user list :).

It is a false assumption.... the PS2 has certainly made more profit than the GC did.... The confusion lies in that Nintendo made more profit in the PS2 years (2000 - 2006) than Sony's game division did. It is difficult to split apart the GC and GBA/DS sections of Nintendo without properly readin the reports, which I can't be bothered with. But I would guess the PS2 made something in the region of 2-3 times the profit that the GC did.

Still. 2-3 times is nothing compared to the huge disparity in hardware and more importantly, software sales.
