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.
|
the CELL and the blu-ray was accounted for in othe division but alot of it was researched and optimised for the Playstation products
SONY themselves claimed north of &$2B in R&D on PS3 alone
PS3 has lost money but blu-ray will make them this loss.
also try to understand what i'm saying
on paper amd shown to public numbers,Nintendo profits are more than the PLAYSTATION division numbers.
but the R&D in PLAYSTATION DIVISION doesn't show up but it reduces the profits that are shown to the public
like if :
PS DIVISION PRODUCTS PROFIT: $2b
PS division R&D: $0.5b
PS DIVISION PROFIT: $1.5b
they will only show the public the last numbers.also don't forget how much PS products help SONY other divisions like MOVIE sales,royalties
