reverie.

nintendo has more systems thasts why.

do it from nintendo 64 upward and ps1, a more reliable stadistic

and you will see Sony have managed to sell more over the years since it went into the market ;)

I like how you responded without actually reading what he posted.  Twice.

Also, I'd like to know where you got that 106m number, because I see 102.49m.  And did you really think that the Game Boy had only sold 53m?

You also apparently missed this one:

So.

Hmm, yes, clearly inarguable.  That is actually the Webster's definition for control.  Sony clearly controls American homes.  They are so good they sell me a PS3 at a huge loss.  Yep, I'm the big sucker there, not them for producing a product that didn't take into account customer needs/desires.

Instant payoff, or long term market analysis.  I think it's quite telling that people think a that Nintendo's cash on hand, manufacturing agreements/facilities, inventory or DS/Wii (or lack thereof), and internal IPs are worth more than all of Sony's assets straight up.  I'm not arguing Nintendo has control of the living room because they don't either.  They have a hit with the Wii.  But if people didn't have the Wii, they would either buy a PS3, Xbox360, PS2, or the market wouldn't expand.  I think it's the same thing with Sony.  Their is nothing that they have that if they stopped producing it I would miss.  There are too many companies that are good at manufacturing HDTVs, DVD players, surround sound systems, etc for those markets to collapse due to Sony leaving.

Microsoft has lost more than 7 billion dollars until now with the xbox adventure and is still loosing money. MS is the looser of the century.

Another company with control, GM right? I couldn't find a more recent article. While Toyota has taken the worldwide market share crown, I believe that GM still has the US automaker marketshare crown. They also have junk bond status. I think what people forget is companies come up with all kinds of short term goals such as being the electronics manufacturer that is the centerpiece of the living room. But when it comes down to it, the #1 goal of any company is to make a huge profit. And we all know who is winning at that.

wrong. Also funny that you think a century lasts 8 years...

Yes, MS ist still loosing money with the Xbox. That is a fact, to be seen in their last financial report, if you read this accurately.

Microsoft made the xbox because they thought they could dominate every section of the computer industry.

They were wrong.

Actually they have been showing quarterly profits as of late.  It is nowhere near enough to have broken even throughout their XBox time though.  They are not still losing money though.
