Nintendo needs money
Its best assets are their Software.
Software sells best on mobile.
The End.


Then why is Sony the only one constantly finding new electronics to port their games too, for their own finances?

Even Microsoft looses lots of money in video gaming, if if it were to do PS4 sells.

It seems only Nintendo is in the Black in the video game market.

The PS4 still gets outsold by the 3DS almost every week, which can't be good news in general for any systems sells.

I can't decide if you're serious or not. Still trying to find a single kernel of a fact in your post.

Sony just sold off PC and TV lowering the number of devices.

Microsoft loses not nearly enough on the Xbox that it would affect them financially.

Nintendo is in trouble with no real hope that it will get significantly better in the future. Sony and MS on the other hand will get better as install base grows(and easily outgrows Nintendo's)

Except for december the PS4 has been outselling the 3DS every week in every region it is released and with severe supply constraint. Add to that the much higher price and you got yourself a handheld selling worse than a home console.


You really don't understand how this business stuff works my friend.

-PS4 sold for $399.  Parts alone are about $375. Then add manufacturing costs. shipping costs. retailers cut.  It's being sold at a loss. 

 

-3DS XL is $199.  Nintendo has reported that they make about 20 bucks on each one sold.


You could sell Ferraris worth $100,000 for $90,000 and I could sell lemonade for 25 cents a cup, who is really making more money? Me. 

 

Nintendo has plenty of hope things will get better, all the money is in software sales and Nintendo has heavy duty software coming this year.   What software does Sony have coming that will make them any money at all.  Infamous Second Son?   The first 2 sold an average of 2 million each and that was with one of them being a pack in game.   Driveclub?  Hell NO.  GT6 has barely cracked 2 million.  Forza 5 just hit 1 million this week.  Driveclub is going to be a mega fail just because it is a racing game.   Sony has nothing else announced for PS4 this year (yet).
