All it is doing is taking the profits of the other departments and eating it all away, lowing their net income. Nintendo, with less assets compaired to Sony, would be better off trying to increase sales of the Wii and release bigger software rather than spend much more resources to make a new system and hope it has the same success as the Wii. With a company who only makes games, launching a console is risky. Again, the reason they would rather try to increase Wii sales rather than to bet the farm on a new system, especially when 2009 has shown potential for the Wii and the software does amazingly well. |
Increasing the sales of a console after it closes in on 100M sales is easier said than done. Theres a reason why new consoles are released because saturation is one of the hardest things to fight in any industry. At this point it is the only realistic way they'll increase their console revenue to 2008 levels.
As for Sony, well, they probably will make more money going forward if they continue the PS3 line than if they released a new console or exited the console market. All things relative Sony will be better off keeping the PS3 going whilst Nintendo will probably only improve their fortunes with a new console.
Tease.
