OKay I lost interest and skipped to the graphs. That's really interesting, and heck it even makes sense when you consider how little money goes into nintendo's stuff compared to microsoft & sony. But I honestly don't see how that makes nintendo the overall winner.

To me it would make more sense to compare how many consol units & games were sold (excluding units that replaced broken ones, or used units that were resold), and then use those figures to figure out who won.

Shouldn't we bear in mind that the ONLY leg nintendo has to stand on is gaming? Sony is in ALL things electronic, and microsoft has pcs. They CAN work with a deficit and still survive because they have other areas to get money from. Nintendo, unless I'm mistaken, doesn't.


yah but every company is in it to make money and if a division continually losses them money they will get ride of the division. And don't forget the stockholders want money too. So even tho Microsoft and Sony have other divisions to make them money they will not like losing money. it's bad business. so if they are not careful we may not see any more counsels coming from them. and Nintendo would have won a console war.

One could also argue that with 1st party games, the company should be able to make up their losses. Though you have a point with the stockholders. And the deficit Sony deals with with Blu-ray deminishes as the price tag to produce blu-ray comes down (I'm not mentioning M$'s HD since HD's dead now).
