handhelds they are number one, consoles is a whole different story, gamecube, n64 and wiiu can hardly be called a success


true but 1st party software is a different story, Nintendo is hands down the best wen it comes down to making money :P

they are great at making money thats true but, i dont see a healthy future for them in consoles, i think they will make one more console afte the wiiu and thats it.


dont count on it, Nintendo has that Name Brand. People thought gamecube be their last home console right? Nintendo might or might not have another hit with a console, but certain franchises will make sure nintendo never goes down. 3ds came with smartphones/tablets rule the world and almost everybody though it would be Doomed! Now it'll be most likely the highest gaming device this gen! Im trying to say, nintendo wont go nowhere, 20+ years everyone wants them to fail but another 20+ years they will succeed.

in reality after the gamecube, nintendo was ready to call it quits as far as traditional consoles go, just look look at the wii it was basically a redesigned gamecube with more ram and a wii mote, it wasn't made to compete with traditional consoles, it was just a repackaged gamecube with a wiimote, nintendo  took a verysmall risk with the wii, if it had failed you can be sure nintendo would not have made anothere console but the motion control fad was huge and now its over and they are in a worse position then they were with the gamecube.

Nothing needs to be said beyond this. The facts speak for themselves regardless of whether people want to believe them or not

Re-quoted for truth and silly trollboys that keep on writing silliness.

Depends on your perspective.

Nintendo is making a profit as of now. Sony is not. MS can't get a Gen 8 profit without having released any Gen 8 system yet. So you could argue that Nintendo is number 1 in profits so far this generation, too.

Well that's a silly perspective isn't it.

No less silly than the perspective that Nintendo is "struggling" this gen compared to the other two - the only other data we have for this gen so far is the Vita, and it's struggling just as much as the Wii U is, while the 3DS is selling well.

Nintendo might have earned more money, but they have scared away other publishers in the precess. With the ''megacorporations'' they might not earn as much money, but the gamers win.

So Nintendo is making more money than Sony but they are releasing less games and are barely investing in new studios or new IPs. Interesting.

As a gamer, I like Sonys approach. They don't need to make the most money. As long as PlayStation is profitable, everything is fine and I can look forward to unique quality games with cutting edge graphics.

But when it comes to profits, yeah Nintendo wins. Good for Nimtendo. But not for anybody else.


do you understand how markets work at all?  If people are buying something and the company is making a profit it's because they chose to buy it.  Nintendo isn't tricking anyone, they have been the same type of company for decades and people know exactly what they are buying.

What you mean to say is that it's not good FOR YOU.  You really think you are speaking for everyone while you talk about your cutting edge graphics that you want so badly?

What is your personal gain from Nintendo making sky high profits? Would the games be less fun if Nintendo made less money? I mean, isn't everything fine as long as they don't lose money?

''Oh shit, my favorite company is about to get wrecked in marketshare & sales, has no 3rd party support and has by far the weakest hardware on the market. I better find something positive to grasp on ! ''


At the end of the day, isn't profit REALLY the only thing that matters..? At least if we are to look through the lense of capitalism which us Westerners seem to love so much.. Nintendo wins where it matters most, in profit.

Yeah, if you count game profits only, if you include overall profits from MS and Sony (well, Sony from PS1-2 era) and not just their gaming division, the picutre is a bit different. Microsoft could probably buy Nintendo on their 4 year profits.

What does weak hardware have to do with success? Also, Nintendo has CLEARLY shown they don't need third party supoprt, as they recieved little more than shovelware for the Wii, which managed to be a sales phenomenon, and the Gamecube support was near non existant and they STILL made a profit.

I wasnt talking about Nintendo, take a loot at my last post




What do I care about MS and Sony's non gaming sectors? This is a gaming forum after all..

If MS could buy Nintendo, then why don't they? Hell, it would be a great business decision for them, and they would finally get some 1st/2nd party software of note... Ohhhhhh. (Kidding mods :P). Anyway, I believe MS attempted to buy Nintendo back in 2001, and Nintendo thankfully refused.

i think people are missing the main ingredient in the profit.... the games that nintendo produce....
