Obviously Nintendo ... I mean their profits from the 3DS is drying up fast while they have to ride on a console with absolutely no future to boot.
As for Sony they should have dropped their TV division ages ago instead of pouring in billions. It's good that they are separating themselves now but the damage has being done. |
If you really believe that, then you obviously aren't really aware of the actual financial status of each company right now.

To be honest their both in trouble for the most part. The one who's in the least trouble is microsoft despite the fact that the xbox brand hasn't made them money yet. Nintendo's long term future is bleak because they serverely damaged their handheld brand. Sony's short term future looks bad because they have to restructure the company and add to the fact that they have being hit with massive losses in the past. From this point onwards Sony Electronics is no more and instead will be known as Sony Insurance due to the fact that it's their biggest money maker alongside with the entertainment division.
Just because Nintendo has alot of money in their reserves doesn't mean that they won't lose it. What you keep in the race matters more and this time Nintendo will be dropping alot of money in due time.

How has Nintendo damaged there handheld brand? Ya it wont come close to DS sales but is still on pace to do similar numbers to GBA (80 million or so).

Nintendo's 3DS is essentially a lot like the PS3 in many respects. They both represent a decline in brand. Both of them were damaged because it was overpriced. Both of those systems had worthless features to gaming such as bluray (Although it later became useful when games were starting to get massive early in this generation.) or 3D. Both of the systems had to be saved with price cuts and quality games later on.
In short the 3DS is like nintendo's version of the PS3.
