Some people seem to think I'm against Sony. I'm not. All I'm saying is that I find it annoying it is when "journalist" say the Wii U is doing terrible, when the PS3 was doing much financially worse in 2007 than the Wii U is right now. They always act like Wii U will never have a turn around, yet when PS3 was a year old, they said Sony was doomed because of the PS3. 6 years later the PS3 has 80 million units sold and they almost never mention that the PS3 was doing bad. |
Sony has more than ten times the assets of Nintendo, thus they were able to absorb a far bigger loss than Nintendo will ever be able to. Additionally, the PS3 sold about 8 million units in 2007 while the WiiU will struggle to sell 3 million this year. The WiiU is selling so badly that it may never gain traction in the market, much in the same way as the Vita. The WiiU is not in the same position as the PS3 circa 2007 and that's the reason why gaming journalists aren't making any such comparisons. I don't expect the WiiU to sell a third as many units as its predecessor.

My point is that Nintendo is in a much better situation right than Sony was in 2007. Sales don't matter at ALL for that. Wii U right now is in a much better situation since It's loosing less money than PS3 was in 2007. I'll make a quick explanation.
Wii U is loosing less than PS3 was in 2007, making Nintendo in a better financial situation than Sony was in 2007. The end.

It's like you can't even follow simple conversation.
"Whenever I see articles about how the Wii U is doomed, lots of the writers talk about Sony like they never loose money and are perfect. It's like they're completely ignoring how much money the PS3 lost. Does anyone here know why people do this?"
The aforementioned writers are not bringing up the PS3's losses because they are not relevant. Why is this so hard to understand? Sony has far more assets than Nintendo and a far more diverse range of products, therefore we can not directly compare Nintendo's current situation to Sony's circa 2007.
