It's just the same news for this years financials instead of last years.

I believe Sony eventually made money on the PS3 but they bled money the first couple years considering it cost 200 or 300 hundred more to make the PS3 than what they were selling them for. Hell it was cheaper than the crappy first gen blu ray players which were mostly in the 1000+ range still at the time. |
What I'm saying is the lows for the Wii U/3DS era werent as low as the PS3 era. Both the Wii U and 3DS eventually made money too, maybe not a lot, but enough to be in the black. They weren't bleeding money. People like to compare the Wii U to the Dreamcast at times (whether its a parallel or not), but Sega was bleeding money enough to get out of the console business. And despite the Wii U being terribly marketed (as in very few really knew it existed or knew what it does compared to the Wii), having games delayed creating droughts, and not having that big title until about a year later when it was too late, the Wii U was able to avoid expanding the wound that hurt Nintendo back around 2012 when they reported their first loss in YEARS. Not saying that was great, but it could've been a lot worse.

Yes their consoles have been doing well, thanks for stating the obvious. I am living in the present where the Switch has one of the most successful launches in history and Sony has been destroyed into non existence in the handheld industry by the DS and 3DS. You can continue to fool yourself into thinking Sony is perect and the end all and be all and ignore the damage that they are still recovering from just to try to make a company that already looks good, good.
Or maybe you are just using what success they have had to downplay another company that is making a recovery of their own, and even already have what is likely GotY 2017 in BotW? Does not change the reality of the situation one bit. 😉
Bottom line is Sony only rules CONSOLES while Nintendo clearly found a market for HANDHELD/HYBRID systems. Stop being sour about the fact that Nintendo games still are not on Sony consoles and be happy that both company are doing well right now. It is not that hard. 🙄

Sorry to break this to you but ruling console gaming = ruling gaming. There's a very good reason why Nintendo now have 1 system as opposed to 2. Because handheld is becoming increasingly irrelevany outside of Japan and their consoles are not desired enough.
I canmt say whether Nintendo is making a recovery or not - too early to say but I know they will ship less systems than the previous generation.

daredevil. I think this thread is retaliation thread. I reported it. |

Yeah but Sony is the leader this generation, which is what matters (as long as they're catering to the core audience).

Wait you think Sony will SHIP less with the PS4 than they did with the PS3?

I assume he means PS4+Vita will be less than PS3+PSP Which will most likely be correct. PSP did really well, the Vita... not so much. |
Ahhhh okay then in that case I agree with him. If that is what he meant that is.

| ZhugeEX said: This isn't a slight on Nintendo as some are taking it. It's more to show how big PlayStation Network is for Sony's Game segment. Digital is driving incremental growth this gen, not just through full game downloads , but through subscription services, DLC, Microtransactions and other post launch games content. It also shows the huge opportunity available to Nintendo in growing its own digital business which didn't fare too well on 3DS and Wii U. If it can offer a good service worth paying for on Switch then we'll see plenty of growth from Nintendo's digital segment too. |
Please, no one is naive enough to believe this, but nice try. ;)
