Perhaps. It of course depends on how long that format market lasts and what % that Sony makes off of it.
Others on this site have said that Sony's launch and first year of the PS3 will be a business textbook of what not to do.
Seems to me that the followup course will be Microsoft, and how to blow an opportunity. If they had been willing to aggressively fix the RROD, force Sony into a price war a year ago and push HD-DVD harder for the X360, I think there would have been a much different outlook for both MS and Sony.
Nintendo is just an extra credit course.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
