You just stated what I said was right .....long term profitability .....Nintendo has Made a profit off every home consoled they have released that is called long term profitability ...lol...Sony has not made back all the money they have lost on the ps3 ......you said selling 80,000,000 was great but how great is that if you can't turn a profit ...that makes zero sense .......did you see the graph on the sells of all three companies ....Nintendo has made 25 billion ......Sony 2 billion and Microsoft has never profited off the xbox brand loses billions ..I'm gonna show you the graph 

Long term profitability as in investment now will lead to lots of profits in the future. Sony have done that with the PS consoles, the PS4 is now set to make plenty of money because of it's prior investments.

Nintendo haven't done that. They haven't effectively built up a brand. Did the success of the Wii translate into the Wii U doing really well? Nope, the Wii was a short term profit and now they are screwed with the Wii U.

Lol really ...they haven't built up a brand lol ....how do you think they made a profit once again on every home console made lol what are you talking about lol you act like Nintendo is doing terrible last time I checked they are number 1 in portable hardware and number two in home  hardware ....Nintendo isn't doing nearly as bad as people make it out to be and in the next 3 years all sales will be profit since the wii u isn't gonna be sold as a loss and have quality first party software that's coming out ....also to your point ps3 sold half of what playstation 2 sold so would that in your eyes be considered as building abrand just a question lol

When is the last time Nintendo has been profitable over a course of their fiscal year?   It's been several years of losses- before that they had gone so,etching like 80 years w ouut an annual loss-   So profitablity long and short term is very important to Nintendo yet they have. It achieved that goal in a while-  on top of that they have lost huge market share in both of their console business s and and they have lost credibility with many of their long time customers -   This fiscal year and next should be thier big money making years but they wil be fortunate to male a small profit much less make a lot
