Lets argue over which console is going to finish a distant second.........


LOL!! I know, it is kind of funny. PS3 fanboys think the they wil finish 2nd, xBox 360 fanboys thinking their console will in 2nd. In the end, neither console will be FIRST, which is the most important position for console wars.

Nintendo has proven for the last two gens that to TRULY be on top, profit is key, regardless of the marketshare. Btw, why must someone be labeled as a "fanboy" for a belief? There are a LOT of non-one sided people who believe the PS3 will beat the 360 and vice-versa. Just because somebody has an opinion/prediction doesn't mean they are "fanboys".

I swear that term is pathetic...

But Nintendo has the profit lead as well

360 is still 7 million ahead of PS3, it will be hard enough for the PS3 to catch up let alone pass the 360 sales, don't count on sales staying how they are now, a LOT can change in the coming weeks and months.

This generation is VERY exciting and one I am enjoying a LOT, Console gaming FTW!

8.0 actually but yeah, PS3 has caught up well (not surprising after a new slim model, big price cut and huge marketing blitz lol) but it is STILL 7.6 million away from even catching the 360, that is a huge difference, i'm not picking sides but you have to admit it is a large gap still, anything can happen in the next few weeks and months.

It already beats the 360 in quality and games. What else is left?

I don't know whether or not to believe you. You have defected to both sides before. You were all over the 360, now it's the PS3. Lawd.

OT: Second place never looked so sweet.

C'mon, you know how I am. Do I ever make up my mind?

:D

Clearly you missed the point of the post.

No I merely focused on the one point that I considered relevant, your responded to Xander's comment that neither would be on top (as Wii would be on top), by saying that profit is what decides what is key, and my point was that Nintendo dominates both sales and profits, so again neither Sony nor MS will be on top.

Sony profited the last two gens that they won. Sony has already been on top, even if Nintendo made more money. It deoesn't cancel out what money Sony made and nobody has ever dominated console sales like Sony.

I'd suggest you go through history and then try to come back and tell us that Sony was never on top. I said PROFIT IS KEY, not the company that makes the most profit is the winner. PS1 - Profitable, PS2 - Profitable......what else do they have in common - they stayed WELL ahead of Nintendo, despite Nintendo making more money.

I'm sure most people will get my point. You will probably just continue to argue, even when you're wrong......

Sony lost most if not all of that money on the PS3, so they still came out badly in the profit department

Sony won two generations very well and good, but bad profits are far more dangerous than losing a gen, Sony is in financial trouble, and Nintendo even with two generations out of the top sales spot was never in trouble.

So yeah actually Nintendo wins, because the company that doesn't make money, either dies or is forced to scale back, while the company that does, continues to thrive

Source?

Also, no matter how you slice it, Sony DID win the last two gens, they have been ahead before. That contradicts your earlier statement...

Wrong, I never said they hadn't been ahead before, I said Nintendo is leading in sales, which it is and in profits, which it is, so nice try, but you are still wrong

 

As for profits go check their financial reports, they've lost a ton of money in the last few years
