those things happened mostly because of mistakes from nintendo and sega. and that same strategy didn't stop nintendo from recaliming the dominance and almost killed sony.

So sony did a good thing, capitalizing on the mistakes of its competitors.  And the strategy that was used for the PS3 was far different than that of the PS1 and PS2 hince the different outcomes.  And what did Nintendo gain from getting back its dominance,  two years of losses and two underperforming new consoles?

more money than the entire ps family. if you consider the 3ds as underperforming, then what is the vita?

Ok so what does having more money than the entire ps family get you nowadays? A still underperforming handheld and a pretty much dead in the water console.  Hopefully this lesson goes to show that a company making money does not guarantee it will have success in the future, especially if they do not plan and excute well, which Nintendo since 2010 has failed to do.  You can spin it how ever you want.  Sony went from losing 4 billion on their gaming division when the PS3 came around to break/small profit today, while Nintendo at its height in 2010 brought in 5 billion dollars to now losing money for the first time. cherry picking  profits/losses when consoles are successful/terrible doesnt tell me anything about the here and now.

As for the vita its doing lackluster but one of its main primary uses is about to change and I expect sales to do the same.

1. 3ds is not underperforming

2. wii u is not dead in the water just like the 3ds wasn't in it's first year. if it's still selling poorly AFTER getting it's system sellers, then it's dead.

3. ps4 x vita off play will do sh#t to help vita sales.
