It really cracks me up everytime I see someone post that Nintendo doesn't care for its core audience right after they released the game of the generation.

uncharted 2? O.o.

@johnlucas

 sony only had ps2 and some ps1 sales when the gamecube hit.

nintendo had Gameboy color, gameboy advance, gamecube and software sales for all platforms for profits.

and with all that nintendo made almost the same as the ps2.

LOL no... no no... NO... obviously you didn't even click the link I provided the first time so here it is again.

GC/GBA

2001         -$463,129,080        $767,354,820    (GC and the GBA launch, GC didn't take off as well as Nintendo had hoped)

2005         $402,344,400         $1,039,385,040

PS3/Wii

2008         -$1,092,978,300     $4,277,791,600

2009         -$584,760,000        $5,552,630,000 

 

The numbers speak for themselves....

thats only Sony gaming? Because sony used to make much money than that.

and nintendo make more money but the GBA WAS 80 million selling handheld aand pokemon was all the rage.

and nintendo still had Gb color pokemons sales.

nintendo made money but it wasn't because of the gamecube.
