Switch is also the successor to 3DS so that needs to be factored in. On top of that, I don’t think it’s as simple as just looking at hardware sales. PS3 lost Sony billions of dollars and the company as a whole was on shaky grounds at the time, I remember their credit rating getting downgraded to junk and them selling off a bunch of assets in the early 2010s. Nintendo may still have the bigger comeback but I think it’s more complex than your post implies. |
That was the first 3 or 4 years when they were bleeding money with Blu Ray. In the end PS3 helped Sony Blu Ray win over HD DVD and Sony were making huge profit from Blu ray. Then when they released the slim PS3 they started making money on each console sold. Second half of PS3 life were their peak years and making profit with GTA5 and the last of us, 2 of the biggest games on PS3. PS3 made a comeback in its last few years and that momentum carried over to the PS4. The Wii U was just a disaster from start to finish selling only 13 millions, it might lost Nintendo less money or made a small profit but still a disaster
