They were too arrogant in thinking everyone would fork over $600 for their latest hardware. Then they found out they were not the Apple of console gaming. 2. Nintendo is expecting 65 billion Yen loss for 2011. Their planning and marketing wasn't going much better last year. 3. It was in decline because of 1. But it is recovering now. 4. True, but you can't set out and make 1 must have game simply by putting all your money behind it. Better to spread the risk and get a diverse install base, exactly what ms has been doing after seeing halo starting to run out of steam. Best to have a couple of big hitters, some variety and try out new games to see if they can become the next big thing. |
To be fair on number 3... that was basically all the 3DS's doing with their big miscalculation there (that they readily admitted and took full responsibility on, something Sony has trouble admitting). And the Wii basically died this past year because well... there were no games and its old (tech wise). But then again, the 3DS seems to be full steam ahead now and the Wii U will come out far before the HD twins get their next gen. Even still, they didn't lose close to what Sony lost and it was one loss after piling up the money from previous years, which Sony hasn't done in forever.
BOOM! FACE KICK!
