| lazyrider said: What are the wannabe mods telling people what they can post and can't post?? This is a sales discussion about financial reports of one of the "big 3". I think it is perfectly acceptable to mention the other 2 console makers in the dicsussion. There is no way to spin the results, Nintendo did much worse Q1 09 than Q1 08. This is a fact, no one can say otherwise. However, they did make a profit (once again, fact). Now, in discussing this, we can look at the other actors in the market Nintendo is in and try and compare. I think that is reaosnable no? MS I haven't looked at so couldn't comment. Sony I have (as came out today as well) and we see that they aren't in great shape either (everything down except PS2 HW shipments). And they are making a loss. Now, taking this into account, you can conclude that maybe Nintendo's situation is not "that" bad and still be on topic. Or am I way out of line here? |
No you're not out of line. People want to come and here and be so down on Nintendo for profits being down 60%, but God forbid you compare their financial standing to one of their competitors.
You see, it's impossible to be down on Nintendo at all when you make that comparison - which defeats the purpose of the thread.
