The video game market today would be non-exhistant if not for Nintendo's input and yet, why do people treat the big N so inferiorly. Many analysts and individuals paint Nintendo as a company that will Sega itself sooner or later. Such views are repeatedly shown in articles, blogs, and so forth. If Nintendo does indeed fail, the video market will follow suit, Sony will collapse and so will Microsoft Xbox division. Nevertheless, I would like to break it down and look at the facts more closely:

1. Which company is in debt:

Nintendo - NO

SONY - YES

Mircosoft - NO

2. Over the last years, which company has been the market leader in consoles worlwide:

2009 - 2010 - Nintendomination

2011 - 2012 - Sonydomination

None - Microsoft

3. Which company has posted profits from gaming division since launch:

Microsoft - Launched in late '05, only profitable since late '08 (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Reports-First-Time-Profits-for-Xbox-360-Division-90247.shtml)

SONY - Launched in late '06, only profitable since 2010 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/sonys-yoshida-says-ps3-is-now-turning-a-profit-no-plans-for-a/) - Gaming division '09

Nintendo - Launched in late '06, profitable on day one (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/01/forbes-nintendo-making-6-profit-on-every-wii-sold/)

4. The losses suffered from this generation:

SONY - 4.7 Billion US $ (http://www.vg247.com/2009/10/30/sony-ps-division-has-lost-4-7-billion-since-launching-ps3/)

Microsoft - Over 4 Billion US $ (http://www.gamespot.com/news/microsoft-taking-126-hit-per-xbox-360-6140383)

Nintendo - Profit since day one until 2012 loss of 532 Million US $ (http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/4/26/2975416/nintendo-earnings-loss)

From the above, it seems Nintendo is just doing fine... Why is Nintendo doomed?


That Pachter guy is largely to blame. He has been saying Nintendo is doomed since 2005. It's 2012 now and he's still wrong.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
