How will Sony do what the "Big N" did (Nintendo)?

Nintendo never lost profitabilty, just mind share and market size.

And fans.

I believe I can argue your post because you quoted me, which I have a right to disapprove of comments in which I'm quoted by saying; I don't like being parroted.

Can you please go squawk for someone else?

For your information, mindshare and market share are representative of that small niche group of fanatics, I assure you if that group of fanatics were of utmost importance I would of pointed them out, but they are only part of the pie.

I'm Unamerica and you can too.

As i said in the other thread, have nintendo reported any layoffs, or have i just missed these stories?

Nintendo only has 3700 employees. Sony has 180,000.

In addition, Nintendo has one of the highest profit per employee ratios in the world of all companies not just video games companies.

Not only that, but Nintendo only operates in the gaming market. Luckily for them, the gaming market is not being hit yet, and i stress yet. The worst of the downturn has yet to happen.

Bethesda's Todd Howard "if install base really mattered, we'd all make board games, because there are a lot of tables."

Feel free to add me ...

I wish Sony had Enron's accountants. That way we'd know that their future was secure.

Tease.
