Last quarter would be FY2015 Q3 right? Sony http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/15q3_sony.pdf Nintendo http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-reports-q3-fy15-financial-results/ How were they more profitable? |
The last sales reports had Nintendo earning more than Sony's GAME DIVISION... not entire company.

No, because it's superior. There is no digital only console platform that takes advantage of being digital fully while having desirable software. When that happens, the tide will change. It happened which every other form of media. It happened with PC gaming. It's going to happen with consoles, starting with the NX.

You are aware that at one point Sony was considering killing all first party development? That isn't a sign of having faith in their very strong first party teams, high profile studios, known IPs and means to create others.
They may be stronger than last gen, but their business model relies on selling massive quanities of units and games and getting razor thin profits. Like I said, if the scenario I predict happens, then Sony would quite easily be hurting. I'm getting a Sony fan vibe from you, so I'll leave it be, but I really don't think that Sony's footing is as solid as believed. One wrong move and the whole thing could quite easily go down, and I don't think that PlayStation would get through it unscathed.

That word again.... personally I think it's a very ignorant thing to say. Or just something someone says simply cause he/she hears someone else saying it. Which kinda brings us back to ignorant tho but yh.....
I'll ask this tho, underpowered when it compared to what?
Why is it so hard for some to accept that the general public, or the mass majority of the kinda people that buy consoles do not care about having the most powerful piece of cutting edge technologies in their box and sure as hell aren't willing to pay the price premium that comes with that. Consoles, are designed and intended to be $400 powerhouses at launch. Anything more than that and sales tank (just look at ps3 sales before it got down to $399 or the 3DO or even the XB1 when it cost more than the PS4). When I hear that word when used against consoles, all I see is some ignorant person that doesn't seem to know the difference between PC gaming and console gaming. Who knows tho, maybe I'm the ignorant one that thinks there is a difference between the two.
I'm not saying you are ignorant mind you. Just that that is a very ignorant thing to say. Or at least I think it is.
On topic, what's it with Forbes and these silly baseless sensationalist articles of theirs?

160m units is what Xbox and PlayStation sold last gen. Like I said I don't see them selling that many units. There will be contracting this generation. The funny thing is that it doesn't really matter how many consoles Nintendo sells. They still are profitable. It doesn't matter what Wii U reaches, they're still making money. As for NX failing, they specifically restructured themselves in case they do have to stand alone. They consolidated their handheld and console teams. They made NX so that games can work on the handheld and console with little effort. They are maximizing their software output to avoid droughts. Nintendo could quite easily be the only one making games on NX and be fine. Sony and MS would have both folded under the circumstances Nintendo deals with on a daily basis. |
You, like Nintendo, seem to have no idea how much shit Nintendo is in. But you will see.
I hope for Nintendo's sake they aren't thinking like you and actually make a proper console this time around and do all they can do to secure 3rd party support. I hope. Cause get this, nintendo will NOT survive another failure. They no longer have a handheld market to fall back on. And the long since lost their footing in the console space since after the SNES. if you are a half way decent follower of Nintendo and have at least one eye open on global trends then you would know what I mean.

Wrong. Sony's gaming division made $330M vs Nintendo's $241M.
