Microsoft may sell more consoles but Nintendo will make more profit overall. That's my prediction mainly due to the Wii U now being sold for (most likely) a profit or close to it and Microsoft's history of not caring how much money they lose on selling products at lower costs as long as they can brag to their investors that they moved a lot of devices.
That being said, I legitimately do believe by the end of this console cycle that the Wii U will have sold more than the One LTD (unless the Wii U has a 5 year cycle and the one has a 7 year cycle). |
Gaming division made a $400m profit this Q gone I think? Isn't Nintendo losing money? FYI WiiU is still losing money, people got confused over Nintendo writing off the stock for this year as them finally profiting, but that isn't the case. Also with the low 3DS margins, ... well, look at what profits they've made over the last few years. Not a lot, most Q's have been losses.
Why do you think WiiU will sell more?

1) Are you talking about Microsoft or Nintendo making that? And does that include loss on hardware and marketing expenses?
Microsoft.
2) The Wii U was still being sold at a loss as of like 6-8 months ago (last I heard). It may NOT be sold at a loss anymore for all we know. Nintendo doesn't like to share details like that often.
Why wouldn't they like to announce they're profiting from it ... can only delight their investors.
3) I understand the stock thing and already knew about that.
4) The 3ds is about to explode globally in profits due to lower costs of the old models, the "shiny factor" for the new ones, and pokemon.
How many pokemons has 3DS had now? unless you're privvy to the ins and outs of 3DS costs I suggest a wait and see approach.
5) The Wii U has smash and a TON of games coming later this year and in 2015 that people have been wanting since it launched. 2015 will be its year.

a TON of games later this year??? Huh?? Smash and Toad. That is it. That is not a ton and it certainly doesn't go toe to toe with Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Dragon Age.
Games in 2015? You mean nche stuff like Xenoblade, Splatoon and Kirby?? WiiU has had Mario Kart, 3D and 2D Mario, Donkey Kong and a Zelda Remake, and its sales are sitting at 7m after nearly 2 years. And you think those games in 2015 are going to shift hardware? And XB1 games I suppose are going to do nothing ... despite there being numerous more games coming out than WiiU ...
