Microsoft will profit massively as always.

Nintendo will do well and survive even with some dark 5 years.

Sony and their super amazing console? Good luck with the financials.

 

Edit: Also, GC was very profitable despite its low sales.

No it wasn't. The GC lost a ton of money but due to the great success of the GBA, Nintendo overall still made A LOT of money.

This post not moderated and classified as whining/trolling/flamebait surprises me, considering similar past posts in other threads quickly get in care.

 

OT, looks like this generation isn't doing well. Wii u was already losing money, and now with the price cut. On the other hand, sw sales of 3ds is still in the low numbers.


Hmm, maybe because i wasnt trolling or flaming???

Most Nintendo's money come from thier handheld+pokemon/first party combo. Their consoles really arent that profitable (well, aside from Wii).

Yes it was. the Gamecube hardware had some mad attach rates (among the highest of all time, I think, every system had like 18 games attached with it), so Nintendo was pulling incredible numbers even back then.  With the exception of the small period of time when Nintendo cut the price to $99, Nintendo sold the Gamecube with profit on every unit.

 

 

Here.. looks like nintendo was more profitable in the 6th gen than sony or microsoft in the seventh gen.

I totally feel sorry for them. It must suck knowing that in the end Microsoft can actually buy Nintendo 100 times over if wanted to without even blinking an eye.

Aside from wishful thinking.  He believes in the mega corp strategy of buying your way in, instead of earning.
