Total:86

I think you should do some research before you post.

1. Sony is profitable for 2013
2. Sony's making money off every ps4 it sells. Even if it doesn't make a profit off every ps4 sold specifically (i need to confirm this myself), they will in the future as the component cost go down. Furthermore more, they are selling something like 2 games per console sold and there's also ps plus revenue.

Nintendo on the other hand is not profitable so far in 2013 after 3 quarters.

So basically your whole post is filled with fraud information.

Probably not but it will certainly get closer... Its gonna be time to find out soon if Nintendo's games actually have enough potential to keep the wiiU competitive this year


I think Mario Kart has more potential than donkey Kong, althought I think DK is the better game. Smash is a niche affair in my opinion. Everything else will take a while I think, what else is on the horizon?

Hopefully a Nintendo Direct with more games and I think Smash is more than a niche game... I mean, just look at the sales... It managed to sell 7.07 million during the gamecube era...

1 Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii 2008 Fighting Nintendo 6.17 2.34 2.55 0.94 12.00
2 Super Smash Bros. Melee GC 2001 Fighting Nintendo 4.41 1.04 1.39 0.22 7.07
3 Super Smash Bros. N64 1999 Fighting Nintendo 2.95 0.60 1.97 0.04 5.55


12 million is a amazing number, never realized it was this big. I guess it can be quite a system seller after all.

Nintendo have their hands full with keeping the 3DS huge sales and this is hurting the WiiU quite a bit. As a company, thhey probably don´t care: profit is profit, who give a damn where does it come from?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I think you should read my post before you attack me, I said I think the strategy will pay off and Sony will survive.

A. The PS4 sales will slow down significantly (same goes for all consoles) due to the fact that this is not the holydays anymore.
B. WiiU will sell some units in the next 3weeks, can't expect it to sell alot but hopefully better sales year on year compared to last year.

So not in 3weeks. No way that Sony will sell 400k a week post holydays imo. I say 2months. So by the end of the fiscal year.

They better make a profit, or else what is the point? I heard it is profitable after one game, sounds plausible.

most manufacterers don't profit from the start, Nintendo right now is profiting because of the yen and because of the high 3DS sales, the WiiU still has a negative effect on their profits, but it'll turn a profit soon enough.

If they make a profit after a console and a game, which is safe to say is at least what the most casual gamer in the world buys, they are in a amazing place: they will cover R&D with, probably, less than 10 million units and the lifetime of the console will still be pretty healthy, even if it finishes last.

That is the magic of a sustainable business model, it is not a war at all, you do not have to win freaking nothing to get the big bucks =D

Sony is definitely passing Nintendo in the first quarter. When more PS4's show up in America and the launch in Japan they will pass the Wii U and take the number one spot.

8 weeks? Maybe. But the japanese launch will be pretty big...

How do you know Sony will be profitable? They were in red as of Q3. 

PS4 is profitable, Sony is not. I think they had a terrible year in TVs and movies, and lost a lot of share in mobile.

 

After China news, Nintendo even achieved a greater market cap than Sony as a whole.

They probably do care where it comes from considering they have to appease their stockholders. Stockholders can be very fidgety and when something doesn't look good, they take notice. Grave notice...
