what numbers do you wanna know

i am telling why SONY's profits are shown to be down

 

SONY had so much R&D going on

you really think with the Software of 1.6 BILLION games sold for PS2,they would have made money in royalties more than Nintendo and the amount they were making on hardware

 

just anwser to me why did  SONY's PLAYSTATION profits dipped in 2005 even with the blockbusters like GT4,SAN ANDREAS,MGS3,etc

 

And Nintendo was also undergoing  R & D at that time yet still managed to make a lot of profit.  So what is your point?  

Sony:  Massive profits, massive R & D costs, PS3 still lost to the Wii.

Nintendo:  Massive profits, controlled R & D costs, developed to DS and Wii to disrupt Sony.

so you are saying Wii R&D costs as much as CELL $400m budget and the extra BLU-RAY?

 

Sony:  Massive profits, massive R & D costs, PS3 still lost to the Wii for future profits from PS4 and blu-ray royalties

Nintendo:  Massive profits, controlled R & D costs,Wii got alot of help from PS3 high pricing


So you're suggesting Sony set out to lose market share and damage the Playstation brand on purpose in order to make more money off the PS4, which will have a hard time, thanks to the Playstation name being dragged through the mud,

SONY didn't intend to lose market share but their only option to make blu-ray succesful was to inclusde it in PS3.yes the PLAYSTATION brand name has been dragged through the mud but it still has many HARDCORE fans so they can atleast make a push next gen with PS4 at a low price

and to get a percentage of a new format which, going by current tech rates won't be around for all that long anyway.

its not going to be a long way

its going to be the same as DVD.where was DVD when it launched in 1996,and where was it in the daysd when PS2 had it and it became popular at a low price which is what PS4 is going to be.


Is it April fools day already?

is it for you?



It must be reading this rubbish.

yeah april fooled for replying

Certainly not as fun as arguing with the wall. It doesn't talk back, for instance.

the thing is with Nintendo that they have either or both had a amazingly successful and profitable handheld and console market, therefore if one is not all that successful the other will keep the company's profit in the gargantuan amounts.

In theory, if Nintendo fail at both handheld and home console, then yes they could be 'killed'

If they keep selling hardware at profit they won't be killed that way, just thrown into irrelevance.

yeah but what he meant was that they will eventually die like SEGA as they won't be able to make a bigger push for their next gen system

SEGA is still alive but not in the shape it was

Well to put it blunty Nintendo can only kill themselves a little like Sony have done. Microsoft aren't considered competition mainly because well everyone outside of the states knows how weak Microsoft's brand name is. Nintendo are right the only competition to themselves are themselves and Apple who ironically ahve just got higher valued than Microsoft.
