Oh no you're back. You've made your profile private, wise move, that way we can't be reminded of your previous 20 terrible threads you've managed to survive.

I'm absolutely amazed that you're still allowed here.

Private profile? Had no idea that was a thing.

You could literally say the same thing about PlayStation and Nintendo constantly trying to catch them up in the home market for 20 years..



2018 Hit List: Shadow of the Colossus, Detroit, Dreams, Spider-Man, God Of War, Days Gone, Medievil, Tomb Raider 3, RDR2 

OP is completely wrong about that thing that Nintendo can afford selling their consoles 10M lifetime. No, they don't. If it wasn't for 3DS they would have been in very awful situation right now with WiiU. Also, with WiiU they had the first ever year when they lost money if I'm not mistaken. The reality is that Nintendo and Sony are competing in different dimensions right now. They can't do anything to each other. It doesn't work only on Nintendo side but on Sony's too.

I'm predicting Sony to go bankrupt before 2020.

By that time, Microsoft will already have left the gaming industry.

Nintendo may survive a bit longer, but even they won't be able to compete with the king.



All hail Ouya.

FTFY.

There was a report that came out a couple years ago on Nintendo's financial situation. Wii U never lost them much. They were in the black for the most aprt and made some profit. It showed that Nintendo could lose $250 million a year for 38 years before going bankrupt. Nintendo even in the Wii U era had plenty of money. Nintendo is very careful about it's cash reserve. They always have been. Even when they have taken hits, they have never taken a hit like Sony has. Sony lost more money in the PS2 era in one year than Nintendo ever did with Wii U. PS2 lost money for a long while and PS3 was a money pit for years. Nintendo Gamecube and up to 2011 where the chart ended showed Nintendo was more profitable with Gamecube than Sony or MS were in the same time period. Nintendo was never in any real financial danger.



Sony and Nintendo aren't going anywhere time soon, even then there will always be (or should be at least) competition so whether Sony falls or Nintendo falls etc there will be another rival company to take it's place.

Please even as a Nintendo fan (and probably perceived as fanboy to some) this seems about as annoying as one of baseless Nintendo is dooooomed threads by extremist Sony, and etc fanboys.
