You dont even know what your talking about, please dont quote me if you are going to put up such nonsense.  First sentence SALES RATE, sales = revenue, i never mentioned anything about profit.  Rising revenue is important, especially in consumer electronics, because its an indication that your product is finding its way in to stores, which is being purchased by consumers.  In order to calculate or assume anything about profit we will need something on the cost side which we do not have, so I didnt mentioned it.  You assume nintendo was making  a huge profit at 249, but you dont know.   you failed to mention anything about exchange rates, increase advertising, cost of giving away the 10 or 20 games for the ambassador program, you know important COSTS that can affect overall profit.

My point was that revenue means absolutely nothing if you have no profit to show for it. Just look at Sony and the PS3, big sales and revenues with little to no profit, it was even worse before where they'd actually lose a ton of money on each unit sold. Look what happened to them, lost all their profits from the PS2 days... Now you tell me which is more important

Thankfully, Nintendo isn't losing much on each 3DS, and the increased software sales, market share, and third party support will more than make up for it

Also, what's with that condescending attitude of yours? Calm down

You've been by far the most condescending person in this thread. You chased Carl out of the thread and acted completely pretentious and rude towards him just because he said something you disagreed with (even though it was a positive statement anyways). I've received multiple reports from this thread even though it should have been merely a celebration of a system's success. I am not here to attack you, but the bolded statement was enough to make me step in and say something. 

Train Wreck's post wasn't condescending whatsoever besides saying that he thinks your argument is nonsense. Just letting you know so we can hopefully have a nicer thread here.

Congratulations to the 3DS. It's a great accomplishment and I can't wait for the games coming out this year (Paper Mario please!).
