It is still no excuse, Sony is making the NGP, and are still having some pretty great PS3 games on the near future.

And the cost thing is BS, the games costed considerably less than many others, and sell 20 million .... I don't know how it doesn't turn into mass profit.

How is Sony's situation proof of Nintendo's? Not only are they are larger company, they didn't release a new system, and Nintendo has.

Plus making lots of money doesn't mean making lots of games. That can cause saturation, and thin out the talent. Look at EA.

The 3DS, in all likelyhood, used up talent resources to make both the system and the first waves of games. The next wave of Wii games is likely coming, but the work on the other system caused this gap. You can't buy Miyamoto and co. into being in two places at once.

As far as I'm concerned, EA has done plenty of games this year, and their games don't sell nearly as good as Nintendo's.

And even if Sony haven't released a new game system, it is in development, and they still have a great line-up that extends as far as 2012.

What part of that did you miss? If Sony can make more games, that is because they have more people, not because they are equivalent to Nintendo, but magically more productive.

As for EA, their games not selling as well is the point. Again, saturation and thinning out.

Sure it would be nice if there was a situation where Nintendo could release a constant stream of games, but they don't have as many people as you think.

Now you could blame a misallocation of their talent causing the gap, but assuming they are just as comparable to larger companies, or to assume that the money they make can magically make the same amount of people work twice as hard, is ridiculous.

In short, you have a right to not like the lineup, but not the facts about why it happened, as they are fallacious. Hate the lineup because they planned poorly, not because they didn't supposedly spend enough of the money they made.
