Is not hard to look up latest financial reports. PS4 division made 17.7bn yen profit vs Nintendoes 16.2 last q, and they just launched their most popular console. Playstation has bigger brand recognition, do a representative poll worldwide and more people will know Playstation than Nintendo, from all my travels in Europe, Middle East and Asia Playstation was the most associated with gaming. It's been a continuously used name for over 20 years. People might know the Wii and Gameboy individually but not the company behind it just like they might not know Sony is behind Playstation. Playstation makes big money and let others make big money, it's how 3rd parties survive. PSN until recently was making more money than all of Nintendo, that storefront alone is worth $. |
Then I guess Japan made a mistake having Mario represent the nation in the handoff of the closing ceremonies of one of the biggest international events in the world or having Pokémon become official mascots of the national team for the World Cup. :P
Or the fact that there's excitement of Nintendo creating a theme park at Universal Studios.
and I thought he showed you an updated link of popular brands showing Nintendo being a little higher. Don't you acknowledge that since you put out link from the same site?
