The Truth About Nintendo

[کï|³ñ7]

At least a couple of times you have probibly been a victim of the media telling you that Ninitendo is in third place in "The Console Race". But what alot of people dont realize is that Nintendo, in the end of the day, is making the most money. The Gc is just a small part of their hardware market anyway and thats not what the media tells us . The media is basically saying The big N is gona pull another sega but in reality thats far from the truth. Read more on this link nintendoinsider.com/site/EEEZuAypVuTuOJPzyb.php to see why microsoft is losing money and sony isnt even close to making as much as Nintendo.

Yeah, it costs like 600 dollars to build an Xbox 400 to make a PS2 and even less for the GC, how they make money is by selling a game that costs 50 cents to make for 50 bucks, GC has the most/highest rated games thus putting GC at the top w00t go GC

[GamerMan]

accually proceides from advertizement on X-Boxx live earns microsft a hell of a lot of money. Same with subscriptions to x-boxx live.

Also, game sales are by far in sony's favor, they may not get as much money per game as gamecube does, but they do get alot. Finally, with EA now with exclusive rights, it looks like MS could be in for alot of money that way (the sports franchize is a big seller with X-Boxx)

[Azan]

Could you perhaps provide some sources? I am not up with recent events but when I checked a year ago the net gain from the systems were as followed (if I remember right in america and europe)

most money made GC
then Xbox
and last PS2

[GamerMan]

PS2 is most money made, they have sold 3x as many games as gamecube, plus they started before nintendo. the profit margin on a PS2 game is nearly as large as it is for the nintendo. X-Boxx's are unreadable as unlike PS2 and Gamecube, X-Boxx has advertizment income, subscription income, and third party income that are well blended into teh budget, making it impossible to tell what was becaues of X-boxx. However, X-box probably comes in a close 3rd between the 2 other concles in money made to microsoft.

As for the fact that nintendo had largest profits that year, they did that because they put up big gains on teh DS, while Sony lost alot of money on the PSP, the PS2 still has alot higher profits than teh Gamecube. And X-Boxx, again, they didn't accually put up a loss as they didn't take into account anything other than concle and game creation/sales, nothing on X-Boxx's alternate sources of income.

All in all Nintendo has made more than both the companies combined, us gamers usually only look at current gen consoles and their 3rd party support. What im trying to make clear is that there is other parts to Nintedo than its current home console .

Once again I am going to have to ask for direct sources. in fact it goes for everyone here, as before either side produces articles I wont take either side,

i do remember an article saying the GC has the highest sales but seeing as how I cant find it my opinion doesnt matter (till I do find it )

[GamerMan]

game cube having highest sales durring one sale period wouldn't even mean NEthing, its all game sales, and those are difficult to track, so ya, you have to look through the corporate info, usually you can find it at the Securities and Exchange Commission website (look it up you lazy bum),

You can say one company is trustworthy and another one is not unless you back up with decent reasoning. First off, neither sony, nor sony affiliated company numbers have been posted, so there is no reason to try to discredit them. Secondly, if you dont have evidence to back it up, you shouldn't be making wild accusations about a company just because you dont like them. Thirdly, saying "Nintendo doesn't lie", doesn't help your point of view, you state a fact with nothing to back it up a.k.a. trolling.
