That they're selling a ton of consoles a profit, just because Nintendo is doing well doesn't mean they aren't being hit by the economy fluctuations as well, they just doing less amazing then they were.
that... they just so happen to have the right business model at the right time.
It shows the weakness in the industry, Nintendo may not be doing as well, but they are still doing great, most comapnies would love to be in Nintendo's place right now, the games industry on the other hand is not doing as well, layoffs, closings, mergers, are all signs of failures.
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
