Didn't anyone else say this? They'd leave gaming.

Nintendo is an integrated hardware and software company, they wouldn't produce one without the other. They'd start selling bathroom scales or something, and no more games. It's been set clear as day, Nintendo is in the business of hardware integrated with software. If they can't do that in gaming, than all their franchises will be retired. This has been made VERY clear already, back when Nintendo wasn't doing so well at that. So stop dreaming.

A more appropriate question would be, what if Sony and Microsoft stopped making consoles.

well that question isnt as fun to ponder. absolutely nothing would happen if sony and ms stopped making consoles..

nintendo lost money on the gamecube ... sega lost money on the dreamcast ... Sega stopped hardware ... if nintendo stopped hardware ... i would have loved a sega/ninendo console, best of both worlds

<3 Sega <3 Nintendo


I think they almost earned as much profit on the Gamecube as Sony did on the PS2.

actually no, they made almost as ps2 with GBA+gamecube.

gba sold 80 milllion gamecube+22 gamecube. and their first party

also that was by the time ps2 was 100-120 million

Is this guy... Is this guy serious?

 

Devices sold =/= profit.

i didnt say that? i did say they had the GBA to fall off on profit.

it wasn't because of the gamecube.

They were talking about profit, and you used the number of devices sold as evidence for why Sony/Nintendo made profit.  Just because you sell a lot of consoles does not mean you made a lot of money.  If you sell them at a loss, that hurts profit.  Selling a lot of consoles that just break even is worse than selling much less for a good profit.  That's why you saw stuff like this back in 2005:

 

Uh oh someone brings in actual facts and figures and the debate ends funny how that works :P nice job lol.

And yeah it really doesn't matter how Nintendo pulled out a profit, you can say "but they were console and handheld!!!" all you want but the fact remains back the first couple of years of PSP they took a hit on those handhelds (which is likely why that 2005 graph is so low for Sony), its all about how you handle your business not how many consoles you sell.
