RolStoppable,
1) THAT`S why we speak ONLY about console SALES in this thread, because it`s the ONLY numbers, that are available, and pretty much close to reality.

3) So, your point about GC having better games is irrelevant. =)

4) So, how do you know, that Sony haven`t SPENT most of those money on developing engines for their games, for Home, for PSN and etc.?
You don`t know, so your point is irrevelant, unless you provide REAL numbers.

With five billion to spare and since the GC hardware was sold for a profit, Nintendo could have gotten a ton of games which most likely would have increased the sales of the Gamecube significantly. On the other hand, the PS3 wouldn't have sold nearly as much as it has, if Sony had to care for profitability above everything else.
AND THAT is why Sony is better, than Nintnedo. Sony care about DELIVERING more good games to customer, rather than making PROFIT.
