no way, even in the gamecube gen you are talking about Nintendo made more profit than Sony in games. The gamecube was sold at a profit, it sold lots of 1st party software, GBA and DS made tons of money, and Sony's strategy with the PS2 was not as good as the PS1. Sony WAS making Nintendo like profits in the PS1 gen when their strategy was not be the most powerful and not to be a loss leader.
As long as Nintendo has their core base they can never be defeated. First party titles alone asure this, and with the sales they get from the 1st party sales they will get a bunch of multiplat titles as well. For Sony to beat Nintendo they would have to make such good software that people didn't care about Nintendo's first party titles.
Nintendo has such a huge war chest they can afford to have a few bad gens as well. |
SONY was making Nintendo like profit in the PS2 era too but they had alot of R&D and other stuff going on
why do you think in 2005 when PS2 was at peak,they had a major dip in profit?- it was because they were working on CELL and blu-ray for the PS3 and the PSP push
also just don't look at SONY's PLAYSTATION division itself as alot of what PLAYSTATION 2 and PS3 did benefit alot of SONY's other department
like most what SONY's other divisions are profiting because of BLU-RAY are because of PS3's inclusion of the blu-ray drive
