Because it's not relevant, and has already been discussed to death. The PS3 lost Sony a lot of money, but it has been profitable for a few years now and Sony are financially stable enough to keep bringing us new consoles and games.
The PS3 wasn't doomed because it sold 80 million, WiiU will be lucky to reach half of that. Being "doomed" has nothing to do with profits. I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this. |
Actually, being doomed is all about profits. If every Sony console starting with the PS5 was like PS3 (Sells a lot, looses a lot) and every Nintendo console from now on was like the N64 and Gamecube, (Sells little, but makes profit) Sony would go under first, making them the "doomed" one.

Are we talking about the WiiU and PS3 or Nintendo and Sony here?
You seem to be clinging onto the idea that Nintendo being an overall more profitable company makes the WiiU a successful console. Believe what you will, but you'll be in for a nasty shock if worst come to worst and the WiiU dissapears off of European shelves within the next year or so.

No. Wii U is doing terrible right now. I'm just saying that Wii U will be more financially successful than PS3. It won't sell as much or get as much support though.

Actually, didn't you create this thread to state that gaming journalists are ignoring the financial struggles that sony faced with the PS3? This is still incorrect as the gaming press dragged Sony through the mud during the early PS3 years. Sony's financial troubles during the PS3 launch are also irrelevant to WiiU (still). That being said, your most recent statement is most agreable, the WiiU will never be as popular among consumers or developers as the PS3 while it may generate greater profits.
