When does it become impressive then? Can we nail this down now to save time later? It's probably going to pass the PS3 lifetime total next year or so, will that be the start of impressive or do we keep waiting?

When it prints as much money as the DS, then it will be impressive. Selling a lot at a loss isn't much of an achievement.

Hmmm, Sony and Microsoft sell at a loss for the first few years of a new systems lifecycle. So it's ok for them but not Nintendo? Sell hardware at a loss, acheive critical mass and make profit on the software. It's a common business model, Nintendo just hasn't done it before.

Where did Rol state it was okay for the other companies?
