Who cares who sells the most? It's PROFIT that matters.

The profit matters to the COMPANIES. You think gamers care whether the company is making money or not? No, they care about the games they are getting. Generally who "won" the console war is based on which one moved the most consoles and games...because that means a majority of gamers wanted that console for it's games. Whether the company can continue with another console is irrelevant to that generation.

Face it, as much as some people would have liked Nintendo or Microsoft to have won, the PS2 won that one for the gamers. Profit-wise, Nintendo is a winner, this is true...but what does that have to do with what GAMERS want? GAMES matter to GAMERS. PROFT matters to COMPANIES.

Tell that to the Investors when they don´t want to play in the games market anymore.

@ChronotriggerJM  My house and most houses I know are filled with DVD players so I honestly couldn´t care less if my Nintendo system played DVD´s as long as it play games, sure if it did I wouldn´t cry about it but it doesn´t add or take away anything from the system for me and most people I know. It´s mostly the generation that grew up with PS (and now MS gamers) that cares and most of the time it seems like an achievement used to boost how good your system is by fan of respective system but in reality it doesn´t add to the gaming experience in generall. Today with PS and Xbox it´s a different thing since they market their system as being more then gaming systems so they need to have it but most gamers don´t care about that because they bought the system to play games and DVD functionality is a + but not a requirement.  

 

 Oh, no, profit is important. I was just saying gamers care more about the games on their console over the profit the companies make. Profit is good for the gaming industry to stay alive and for the companies to continue. I'm just saying that in the view of the gamers, the PS2 won over the GC and Xbox. Nothing can change that. People can wave profit in others faces to have a small victory...but the PS2 moved the most and was the gamers choice last gen. Nothing can change that.
