You mean the profit when you put together the Handheld and consoles? If you think N64, GC and WiiU were sucessfull consoles ok them.

That's how they worked for years. Two platforms, so if one failed the other could still succeed enough to overcompensate for the failure of the one. What they are doing now is riskier, yet in all those years and still now they made profit. At the end of the day, that is all that matters. Nintendo doesn't spend nearly as much money on things as competitors, so they don't have to sell as much to generate profit. 

So will you admit that Nintendo failed on those consoles and that Handhelds saved them?

Because having one side of the company having to pay for the other is the very meaning of a failed project. If you aren`t willing to do it you can say MS never failed in anything as they always had profit.

So you only saw that there was a SoP scheduled and already came to conclusions? Nope, you mocked that we need to wait for years and that you couldn`t, in a very condescendent tone.

It's very, very hard to accurately read tone of voice on printed words, especially from voices you don't engage with regularly. I assure you I was not being condescending. I have a general frustration within the industry as a whole, but admitting that isn't insulting anyone or being rude. I genuinely wish all companies would announce games much closer to launch than they do so that we can all have a better and less frustrating experience waiting for the games we expect.

Sony thread, about sony topic, and you are very negative towards Sony. So you can easily see how that post sounds like even if you say you had no intention of it at all.

Most gamers demand to know of games year in advance, like they know how many studios a platform holder have and how many titles should being worked on, and if they haven't formally announced they will be speculating about them. So it is more like the industry as a whole (news channels and customers included) instead of only the gaming companies, but sure there will be people that don't like that just like you.
