Erm, what? Nintendo have been very profitable throughout those generations, from day one. Even during the GameCube era, they never lost a dime, but made healthy profits continually, unlike both Sony and Microsoft. How did you come up with that info?

And you don't need a source to know that sales do not equal success. Fact is both Sony and Microsoft made heavy losses during the last gen, while Nintendo didn't. Yes, Nintendo lost marketshare, and sold less consoles, obviously, but at the same time they made money off every system sold, while their competitors didn't.

Incredible stuff, and what a comeback for Nintendo!

I never said anything about Nintendo not having any success or profit, read my post again, they made losses in market share where they dominated originally against Atari and Sega. Sony scooped up marketshare for 2 generations, Microsoft didnt help it anymore than Sony in this last generation. You also have to realize that Nintendo only has a gaming division, unlike $ony and M$ who have other divisions other than gaming right? No surprise they would have losses since they would have to use whatever money they have in budget on all divisions and if their systems didnt have a good start on selling against their competitors than of course their gonna get losses, while Nintendo has abundance of money to focus on what they do best and at a efficient rate. |
Sony made money during from the PS1 and the PS2, but the PS3 caused them to lose billions and pretty much all of the profit that they made from the PS1/PS2.
Until the 3DS Nintendo had always sold their hardware at a profit. That's why they made as much money as Sony during the PS1/PS2 era even though they weren't the market leaders.
Anyway, congrats to the 3DS on having such a great year in Japan. I picked up two 3DS' myself in Japan during 2011. My blue one on launch day and the red one for my gf as a christmas present.
