One TRILLION yen!

Not dollars...yen.
Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^
@Stefan, I disagree that it will be hard for Nintendo, of course it depends on what actions Apple takes in the next yr or so. Their unpredictability is the most intimidating competitor for their DS especially.
They have plenty of ideas and im sure what ever they do will either be fun or at least be another attempt to expand, and therefore sell more games to, the audience.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
Get down to earth guys, that's only 10 billion $.
That's nice for sure, but it's not a crazy amount........
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Not really. Last gen they went up against GC and this gen they're up against the PS3. |
Microsoft went for the PS3 because Sony was the last gen's marketleader. It assumed that they were the main competition and tried to pull their PS2 buyers in their camp by launching quickly. When the wii broke through, they were proven wrong in their gamble (of biggest competitor) and overall strategy. At this point they couldn't really switch anymore to the wii, so focussed mainly on keeping the PS3 in the corner. The next time, Microsoft will assume that Nintendo is the prime target and plan for it.
That's what i mean with going after the biggest player. Something similar could have happened with the gc, not sure though. I wasn't really in gaming in that generation. But it's true this generation. Microsoft thought the battle would be between Sony and it. They planned year(s) for it. Once executed they were unable to change the plans much. Once you build your console, that's what you have to work with.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
I was on a finance course where it was said that if a company has too much cash it can devalue its shares because investors feel the company doesn't know what to do with money or rather how to invest money. At this time where interest rates are non-existent I don't see the logic in holding on to so much cash. Surely they could invest a couple of billions in something. Real estate is at an all time low now. They could start there. Also buy up a few more studios.

Question: how did this game developer become smarter than 90% of career business school grads?

Because he did not go to business school.
Instead, he uses common sense.
