Nintendo Won't Pull A Sega

Posted by Zonk on from the first-party-all-the-way dept.

AztecL0B0 writes "Nintendo Insider takes a look at the reasons why Nintendo is not leaving the console race anytime soon. From the article: 'To have a successful system, you must not only sell a lot of the system, but make money off it, too. You can sell all the systems you want, but if you don't turn a profit, you'll go down the drain as a company.' This is the second part of a three part series. The first article discusses the background to this round of console fighting."

    Bull**** Statistics. All the graphs in that blatantly Nintendo-apologist were "Systems Sold," the point of this being to elucidate that Nintendo outsells Sony and MS on selling systems. The flaw: they include handheld gaming devices in the statistics which neither competitor was a player in during 2004. Console-gaming wise the Nintendo is losing out. Handheld gaming is great and all, and it has kept Nintendo afloat for the last few years, but with the threat of the entrance of Sony into handheld, and perhaps cel-phone type gaming platforms, Nintendo is in serious trouble.
