I'm not saying its not good, but like you admit its being swiftly destroyed by the PS3, even the PSP wasn't profitable at first and only became that way over time, and according to the Source, its starting to drop off at this point in software and hardware, if they had been able to push better software and at a lower price earlier, they might be in a much better positin with the PSP than they are, if they had tried to emulate nintendo's approach to handhelds. So Sony is still in a position where they are losing money and Nintendo is in one where they are gaining, you say that Nintendo's success is unprecedented, but even in the N64 and GCN eras, they were making profits, because their systems were focused without being overly flashy, they could be priced at a profit and were able to push a lot of nintendo software, because they were designed around the system, it wasn't about huge success, they were in thir place last gen, and they weren't doing anything off the wall with the GCN and GBA, but they still made a ton of cash, becase they had a smart business plan. Even when Nintendo were in third place they were making rpofict, Sony could learn a lot and be in a much better psotion if thye adopted Nitendo's business sense, not just their innovations.
@Galaki, not saying that they are a credible source, but I haven't found disputing figures anywhere.
