This is a bit puzzling. How can Nintendo come out with the massivly underpowered Wii and now shoot for the moon with the 3DS???
I think this will be a begining. The return on Nintendo back into the power house tech stuff again. I now see the Wii2 is going to be a monster.
With the 3DS being so powerfull and forward thinking I can now beleive the Wii 2 will follow along. I see HD (duh), a very powerfull system and I can even see them embracing online the right way, ala at least PSN if not LIVE.
If/when, and I don't see the 3DS failing at all, the 3DS is hugely popular hopefully it will give Nintendo the courage to move along with a poerhouse, hardcore, and more expensive Wii 2.
I'm very excited.

The Wii was a safe bet. They didn't want to create a system that cost them a lot of money to make just in case it didn't do as well as they were hoping. That's my guess at least. Since after the Wii came out, the DS and Wii both took off and so now Nintendo does have lots of money they can use to their advantage.

wrong, nintendo has always had plenty of money. i think only one year playstation made more money than nintendo.
they didnt' make it powerful because at the time hd was 1) not widely adapted, and really hasn't been until just recently and 2) it woudl have drove up the price of the Wii and made it not be mass marketable.

as NINTENDO had gameboy slaes and really didn't take many risk as their company only business was gaming
PLAYSTATION made alot more money than NINTENDO in PS1 and PS2 years,as they did alot of R&D it wasn't visible
also alot of profiits caused by the Playstation division made profit for other divisions for SONY
NINTENDO will continuew its for all approach now that Wii and DS are popular with their succesor

No, Nintendo's pretty much always made more profit than SCE annually, with few exceptions. Their R&D expenditures are also higher, though SCE also adopts technologies that are accounted for in other divisions (EE, CELL, Blu-Ray, etc).
PS3's losses are so massive though that if you look at the company's earnings overall since their formation in 1993, they're now not profitable. PS3 quite literally has lost more money than PS1, PS2 & PSP have made combined.

You're fucking with me... right?
|
Looking it up, it seems the figures only back to 1997. So maybe not, but for the period we have (1997-now) the PlayStation business is at an overall loss. And really, PS1 didn't really get "big" until 1997 anyway.

Damn, I guess the ps3 really does everything...
