Not sure what this thread is supposed to be about.
I would hope nobody actually thought that sony is 'beating ms' because of playstation.

I'm curious to know who actually would've said that to be honest.

Not so much beating MS but many people believe that the company as a whole is financially sound just because the PS4 is selling well.  And on the other side many people think that Nintendo is either near bankrupt or going to be forced to merge/go 3rd party just because the Wii U isn't selling well.

The point is that the true health of either of those companies cannot be judged solely on the success of failure of their current products but a lot of people do just that.  You have to assess their solvency.  How much liability and debt they carry against how much cash and assets they hold.

 

And likewise, you cant judge a company solely on its solvency. Majority of the discussion around here is more about where each company is headed with a focus on gaming/sales.

Just because Nintendo is financially sound, doesnt necessarily mean that the company is headed in the right direction.

Perhaps this puts into context, the more negative views of Nintendo/MS in the consolve space as oppose to Sony.

I'd argue though that most people on this site, who have been around for a couple of months atleast, are well aware of the overall financial situation of the big 3.
