Curiously I always hear how much better Nintendo is financially than Sony... and funnier than that PS4 were released making profit on 1SW and PSN+ sold together... and less than 6 months after the HW was breaking even alone.

They are more fincancially stable than Sony, precicely because they're being cautious. And do you know what happened during the (early) PS3 days to Sony? Huge amounts of losses for an extended amount of time. If that were to happen to Nintendo, lights out.

From what I know PS3 lost about 6B on the first 3 years and I also heard that Nintendo had more than this as cash. So we don't need to excuse Nintendo on being the one that gambles the less, they may make the more different HW, but they are the ones that puts less weight and finnancial commitment out of the 3. MS alone put 3B only to buy mohjang.
