m$, the xbox one is weaker, costs more and dont have better firstparty support(or buyed 3rd)

nintendo will be fine, they dont have to win the war to survive, even a 20m console will make a profit.

sony has other problems, i dont see em making profits anywhere. ps4 will not make profit this year, the costs will be higher if they aim for 16m this year. and they are making not so much profit with firstparty. an ps+ will be another problem, that will cost a lot more of people use it, the 3rd party developper will take more money if ps+ does well.
and if sony takes away the bigger games fom ps+ they will have problems with ps+ members..


Nope, more third parties will be desperate for payments from PS+ and will agree to less than they get now, especially if their game didnt meet expectations on retail, and they have a greater chance of making money from DLC.

Those payments are fixed costs, but the increase from PS+ subscribers (because its compulsory to play online) will give them massive profits.

 

edit: just to add, im not saying this stop sony from posting losses.


i dont think teh payments for ps+ games are fixed costs, if it is we will see the gaming crash because of ps+. why should u make a 50million dollar game if u cant sell it because everybody knows it will be on ps+ soon.

the great games for free on ps+ are good for the consumers, but realy bad for the develloper. and tats in the long run not good or the gamer, they will try to get as more oney with less work,that cant work.

that could be a huge plus for nintendo,they dont screw u over with dlc(most of the times) and tehy have enough firstparty games in good quality
