Yeah the have, but they also have one thing called shareholders that will prevent the company from bleeding money.

Last I heard there were shareholders asking for them to sell the xbox division.

Microsoft has the financial might and clout to tell those shareholders to fuck off and that is exactly what they did.



LOL, I just love to see people who are pro Sony posting in a financial thread. You guys sure are brave.

meanwilhe in Sony HQ:


Sony in whole is losing over 1B$..

Sony's PlayStation division had in latest fiscal quarter profit of 196.5M$ net income...

Remember PS3?



Nintendo did in latest quarter 239M$ of net income profit...

Wii U is no longer being sold at a loss since Q2 this year...


3Ds not being sold at a loss since Q2-Q3 2012...

 

From now on it can only go up!

Remember when the Wii and DS were making record profilts? What happened to all that money?  And why didn't that stop them from from losses on the 3DS (first time ever for their handheld) and wii U?

You may want to update that Sony Chart, its the highest it's been in three years:

Microsoft can literally wipe their asses with 100 dollar bills. This is why I laugh at people who think the Xbox is doomed or going to be sold off. Microsoft can use their financial muscle to FORCE the Xbox One to turn around in sales (with the exception of Xbox One Japan, its fucked there).


Yeah the have, but they also have one thing called shareholders that will prevent the company from bleeding money.

Last I heard there were shareholders asking for them to sell the xbox division.

There were also shareholders asking for Nintendo to go mobile... see how that didn't happen?


So? Your reasoning is Nintendo didn't go mobile so Xbox ccan still beed money for all eternity? Thatbmakes sense...

You give shareholders way too much power. Go to a Intel shareholder's meeting and demand that Intel stop throwing billions away at mobile and see if they will comply.



This is pretty much guaranteed for nintendo every holiday.

And if some is saying the 3ds is barely making money then none of the game consoles are.

R&D for 3DS and Wii U, more buildings, more employees since HD development needs more manpower, Amiibo R&D and manufacturing products/stocks... Also when 3ds then Wii U being sold at a loss... Game development costs... N3DS R&D...

And why didn't that stop them from from losses on the 3DS (first time ever for their handheld) and wii U?

Because they need install base to sell software and 3DS not being sold at a loss since Q2# 2012 and Wii U also not since Q2 2014...  N3DS isn't being sold at a loss like DSi didn't...

You may want to update that Sony Chart, its the highest it's been in three years:

Sony's stock is rated junk by 2-3 stock rating companies and Sony has huge debts...

Nintendo has zero debt...


Nintendo could post 1B$ profits for Q4...

Given we have no idea if the thing makes a profit yet?

Nintendo are barely managing profits lately, and that's with the successful 3DS.


The what thing? The Wii U? We have known since Q1 that the Wii U is already leaving a profit for Nintendo :v

--------------------------------------------

Those two may print money, but the biggest printer of money for them rthis holidays will be Amiibo.

The Wii u does not make a profit so far and it did not in Q 1-  Iwata himself has stated this in the investor Q and A after 1st q earnimgs report-  

Why 95% of the gaming sites reported that Wii u was making profit after Q1 based on info coming from a person not w Nintendo is beyond me-particularly when the accurate information was so easily obtainable -  once 1 or 2 sites reported the false info,  it became "internet fact"

the wii u console may break even this fiscal year but only due to much of this years inventory cost being written off in the previous  fiscal year
