Nintendo is really dominating the handheld market and outselling the PS3

Kazuya Mishima · April 27th, 2007

Yeah...at half the price and it's not winning by the double....

Player-X · April 27th, 2007

On the other hand Nintendo does sell each unit at a profit while the other two sell them at a loss.

Kazuya Mishima · April 27th, 2007

Of course. They even have strategies in order to get a profit ALWAYS:

Sell the monochromatic Gb when there were color games in the other side and some of those consoles even had tv, delay the launch of the N64 until it could be sold at a profit instead of at loss, launch a new console with outdated technology like the Wii (the wiimote doesn't count)...

If it works for them then it's ok...for them.

Tilla · April 27th, 2007

Of course they dominate handheld - they've never had a half-decent competitor until last year in the field. And you really think PS3, at that price, is gonna outsell Wii? Sony doesn't, I'm certain.

Not that sales matter ultimately, it's what you enjoy that matters. My PS3 owning friends love them to death, and I loved my PSP until it got stolen. It's not a competition, it's *****ing entertainment machines.

(That said, the Gamecube sold really badly, worse than the PSP has so far and PSP is still very early in it's lifespan. That's no good!)

On profit: Imagine how much the system is actually worth, if Sony is taking such a loss? I heard the loss per system was around $300 for the lower-end system. But buy a handful of games, a couple movies, some accessories, some downloads, and they start turning a profit.

Microsoft, last I heard, had started turning a profit in the fall sometime because they'd produced enough units - cost does go down eventually on hardware after all, economy of scale.

Good sales on handheld nothing new.

JKKDARK · April 27th, 2007

Alimus · April 28th, 2007

Wii For The Win!

Coolsvilleman · April 28th, 2007

Its so funny that there is a ridicolous amount more hardware sold in japan than software. That just proves the crazy amount of pirating.

That's not right. Wii hardware sales in Japan is 2 million, software is 6.12 million. Nintendo DS hardware sales is 16.02 million, software is 183.98 million.

Let's see since the sixth generation:

PS2 kicked Gamecube ass
GBA kicked -LOL no handheld from Sony- ass
Wii kicked and still kick PS3 ass
DS kicked and still kick PSP ass

Nintendo 3 - Sony 1

Kazuya Mishima · April 28th, 2007

How can Gba kicks the ass of a competitor that doesn't exist in the first place?
Does it have anything to do with this smile?

Does this smile:

makes magically appear some competitors out of thin air?
