Your argument is flawed based off this sentence quote *Nintendo were profitable because of Handhelds not the consoles on those 2 generations. MS have lost a lot of money because of several issues on the gen* Nintendo makes money on there consoles and there Software sales make a huge difference and thats there primary source of income, because alot of Nintendo franchises sell millions. There B grade franchises make up Uncharted sales. As for Xbox, you have no idea how much money MS rake in with Xbox Live. Imagine the income for 10 years with more then 10million subcribers paying $50 a year for Live. $50 x 10million over 10 years. At one stage MS had 55 million subcribers in 1 year. Sorry MS made a fortune on the 360 even with its unknown issues you speak of. PS2 and PS3 had no subs and there hardware was butchered so they could sell it and they sold there consoles at a loss. Halo 4 alone made $220million for Xbox. |
That certainly explain Nintendo profit for 3 years in a row. They sell million sw and don't take a hit in sw on this gen as well.
