But they have to actually DO 2 new consoles, you can't possibly believe that with this effort they can go up in money.

And for saying this, that you ignored, you tell me of victim. Yeah, sure, keep believing it.

...why are you acting like that's unprecedented again? This is Nintendo. Ever since they launched the Gameboy and the Super Nintendo within two years of each other, they've routinely released two consoles in a short timespan. Sometimes they've done three within a few years of each other. And they did it while making large amounts of money...until now.

Until recently, Nintendo's business practices didn't resemble those of Sony/Microsoft. They made money early and often. Now they are not. So, what's your point?

You're right, but Nintendo seems to realize that they really screwed up with how they launched the 3ds and had to cut it's price so much that it sells at a loss.  I would hold off on saying they are following Sony and Microsoft's business practices until after Wii U is launched and we see if they lose money again at the end of the year.
