Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

Ok this is just getting old, are you just going to keep making baseless claims with no facts or figures to back your point?  I linked you the thread, in the thread is linked the sources, if you've got a problem with the sales then take it up with Sony that released them, then come back when you actually have some sort of basis for your claim that the gamecube didn't make them money because right now you've got none and you're just saying "I'm right because I'm right" which is why we have a content rule... >_>

well you clearly misread, my claim is the GAMECUBE alone didn't make same money as the PS2.

especially since the ps2 still  selling now, with huge profits, and u won't see that in those numbers because both sony and nintendo have other things mixed in.

but it's certain ps2 made more money than the gamecube.

 

Which isn't what you said at all, since you said things like "nintendo made money but it wasn't because of the gamecube." and "with all that nintendo made almost the same as the ps2." which may or may not be true since Gamecube had some of the best selling titles of last gen and most of which were made by Nintendo which means they brought in more money from that title, so they not only made money on the console but games as well, even then Sony had other things involved skewing things like PS1 still selling and selling software into the PS2's life and just like you said PS2 selling into PS3's life helping out those losses.

Now if you're going to settle on that point than saying things like Gamecube not bringing in that much in profit, then yes PS2 likely did bring in more profits than GC alone, the only issue the only facts to prove one way or the other is collective data, and that proves the point of this thread that a business model that doesn't sell at a loss is a better way to go, since MS still hasn't made a profit on their game division and the PS3 has almost eaten away at the entirety of the PS brand, but if they had went with the sell hardware for a profit model, they wouldn't be in that bind, period.

only the gamecube, then i said they make money of the gamecube+gba+GC+software sale, the gamecube was sold at 99$ last years.

but profits of the gamecube alone weren't as big of the ps2.

sony did it well with the ps1,ps2, and this time they decided to over engineer the console, big mistake, from the profits , but awesome of the engineering stand point.

While that proves nothing, because the topic is the razor model being flawed and you point out it worked for them when they were the highest selling, its obvious it's majorly flawed because now they're not on top and lost billions.

As for what I highlighted, 360 has similar specs, followed the same razor concept, lower price point, but their company is making money now, so obviously it's not just a engineering problem more of they made it way too expensive to produce.
