| scottie said: It depends on the company's aims. MS released the 360 early because they had the aim of tearing down the mighty Playstation The Wii was released late because Nintendo aim not for the destruction of another, but for their own profit. A company loses money for two reasons each generation change, the R&D costs of the console, and because if a gamer spends hundreds on a console that has slim or negative profit margins, they aren't spending those hundreds on games that have huge profit margins. As such, Nintendo always try to wait as long as possible between releases, because it saves them (and us) money |
I must be missing something. I thought the time between the release of last gen's console and this gen's console was:
Microsoft the shortest
Then Nintendo
And then Sony
So I don't get where you got that idea.
