Ah, you do realise that the gameboy essentially kept Nintendo afloat during the N64 and GameCube days right? Also you speak as if PSP didn't affect Nintendo, but Sony's 1st entry into the hand held did a might fine job of taking away about 31% of it's market share, remember before the PSP came in Nintendo all but dominated the hand held market with almost 100% market share...So I'd say Sony PSP took a good 31% of that crown. |
You do realize that the "Gameboy kept Nintendo alive" canard is just that--a canard, right? Did you actually pay any attention to Nintendo during those years (and by that I mean: did you actually follow their quarterly and annual reports? Did you see how many copies of Nintendo-branded games moved during, especially, the N64 years?) or are you just propagating the conventional (and utterly false) wisdom in a desperate effort to make some sort of specious argument?
Neither of those machines [N64 & GC] and their games lost money for the company because, unlike Sony and MS and Sega, Nintendo wasn't suicidally-bent on sacrificing profit for market share--something you'd know if you actually weren't just reeling off made-up nonsense.
Some of us were actually alive and paying very close attention at those times, and what you state here is idiotic, revisionist history.
