Forums - Sales - Nintendo revenue > Xbox 360 + SCE revenue

Wait what the deuce does all this mean? Does revenue mirror profitability?

It means three things that I can see:

Nintendo is raking in the cash and dominating the gaming industry (not news).

Sony still has a pretty big slice of gaming revenue due to their diverse hardware and software product line, they just aren't doing a good job of controlling costs to leverage that revenue into profits.

Despite showing strong sales growth, Microsoft's narrow hardware and software product line have kept their (console) gaming revenues relatively low. Like Sony, they also aren't successfully turning their revenues into profits.

Sony would be making some killer bucks if PS3 wasn't digging to the center of the earth.



Look at the number of employees Nintendo has. Very small for the amount of revenue they have coming in. That has to keep costs down, even though they are spreading the love financially all over the company.

You used the Wiki? Any Xbox fanboy like CrazzyMan or MM476 can edit that to make Sony's revenue's look bad.

I never expected something like this from you Squidward ;_;

Because I was the one who edited it! Haha.

OT: I don't see how this is possible. Nintendo's two consoles and games sell more than Sony games, three consoles, TVs, computers, phones, music players, headphones, cameras, speakers...

I don't think Nintendo needs the hardware sales to surpass what Sony is doing (in the game industry). Just look at the sales for Nintendogs, Mario Kart wii, Mario Kart DS, Wii Fit, Wii sports, New Super Mario Bros, etc.

Oh right, only SCE. Yeah, that makes more sense.

In terms of overall revenue I would say that Nintendo are probably under-represented in the console market and over-represented in the handheld market considering they hold much greater market share there. To be honest I was expecting Nintendo to have a greater proportion of the total as they have an iron fisted grip on the handheld market.

It is "Nintendo is." There is not more then one Nintendo. Nintendo is a single company. When I say Nintendo, I mean the one corperation that makes Mario, the Wii ect ect. How are people thinking it is plural.

Companies are singlular people.

Nintendo is made up of multiple divisions whom are all making money. 



Tease.

Microsoft is doing fine.

Your body is made of multiple divisions. Doesn't mean I call you "they." A building has mutilple floors and many different opperations (some of which are making money). Do I call it "buildings?" Nintendo is a single company. I can say, "Nintendo has many divisions. They run well so the companmy can make money." The divisions are plural, yes, but the company itself is still singular. Again, unless you can find me multiple Nintendos, then it's singular (and this doesn't mean NoA, NoE ect. They are part of a whole).

Small grammar sidetracking: I understand that with collective nouns you should always use them as singular when you're thinking of the group of a whole entity, you can use plural when "group X" stands for "the people that form group X".

Example 1: Nintendo IS a japanese company. Example 2: I know that Nintendo ARE going to introduce an "autoplay" feature in SMB Wii

Even on the BBC I hear them using plural verbs with "the government" all the time when they mean its members - and I assume their is a good, urban English.

That said, James T. is wrong here - and we should never lose an opprtunity to rub it in.
