I'm not doubting you -- I'm just so absolutely flabbergasted by the notion I don't know where to start. How bad does a company's business model have to be to make less money with 72 percent of market share than a company with 15 percent of it? I understand what you're saying, Erik: the system is a vessel through which the real profit of games, accessories, and other media that the PS2/PS3 can support is channeled (Blu-Ray being the current and best example of this "other" technology). I'm just flabbergasted at how poorly it's done. For those who keep up with stock values and corporate profits, Nintendo's profits are almost 2/3s that of Sony's despite being less than 1/3 the size (according to assets/revenue). |
Nintendo made a lot more money than Sony's gaming division although the lion's share of that profit probably came from the GBA.
