what happened to Sega could happen to Nintendofarnham

... and it could also happen to Sony and Microsoft.

I think no console will fail this gen. Nintendo has the most appealing console, Microsoft is growing quickly and Sony has it fanbase.

What happened to Sega happened because Sega did very bad decisions. It didn't happen because  of bllind luck, like you are stating when you say that it could happen to Nintendo.

Of all three companies, Nintendo is the "richer" (not in absolute numbers, but in capabilities of generating profits)

I remember Nintendo saying they would never go thrid-party and if for some reason they can't continue to make consoles they would just stop gaming and the company would shutdown.Synchro456

Nintendo will never go 3rd party.VGobbsesser

No chance of Ninty ever going 3rd party, no more than of M$ or $ONY.Metrovania

I think Mario will be released on 360 and Zelda on PS3... Metroid probably 360 and Starfox PS3.. Made a quick list.. Mario PS3 Zelda 360 Metroid 360 Starfox PS3 Fire Emblem PS3 Advance Wars PSP Kid Icarus PS3 Wiisports discontinued Nintendogs discontinued BrainAge discontinued Fzero 360 Waverace 360 1080 360 Paper Mario PS3 Mario Kart 360 Mario Tennis 360 Mario Golf 360 Mario Party PS3 Pikmin 360farnham

What great is that you took the two of the best selling games last years and Discontinued them "Brainage and Nintendogs"

Sega went under because they were in the exact same boat as Nintendo has always been in. When you are strictly a gaming development company then you have to set your financial resources to a standard that will keep your company going. Sega did not do that and instead of trying to make money on their consoles, they were losing profits and eventually the competition killed them because of it. Not to metion they never had a solid fanbase to begin with so trying to compete was tough, this is why Sony and Microsoft can afford to make expensive consoles and are willing to take the losses because they have extra money coming in from other sources.

that was because of R&D, ever heard of that ? every game maker loses money on R&D and also loses a lot at launch for manufacturing of consoles, MS lost billions on xbox and 360. still no one proved if they are close to bankruptcy, infact they posted record profits for january. sony has their hand in so many different things its funny. and they make money for every blu-ray movie cus they own blu-ray. blu-ray just won the format war so they are gonna make hundreds of millions off that alone. gaming is but a small part of their business, they are the top maker of flat-screen tvs as well. they make cameras, batteries, anything electronic that you can think of. -Me_Ur_Daddy-

[QUOTE="RahnAetas"][QUOTE="lzorro"]^^wait what are we talking about the Company as a whole or just they're gaming division?lzorro

Sony has very small market shares in most of those divisions, especially with the Ericsson mobile phones and their BMG music division which is extremely tiny compared to the other big record lables out there. Sony really only makes money on their other electronics like televisions and mp3 players. Blu Ray isnt helping them either player sales wise, its costing them tons of money to market it and they have to sell it at the price that will make them some money, I certainly aint going to pay 1300 CAD for a Blu Ray player when the PS3 is half the price and has a Blu Ray player.

Dont kid yourself, Sony could easily have to kill off some of their divisions in order to keep the PS3 afloat, if M$ keeps losing money on the 360 and cant start making a profit 2 or 3 years after its release, they are going to have to start cutting division as well. Nintendo only has its handheld and console divisions, well they also own the Seattle Mariners and are part owners of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, but I doubt they make much money out of both those companies. Nintendo has profits coming in left and right because game development time is a lot shorter for the Wii then other consoles, thus allowing for more games to be produced by both first and 3rd party companies with ease. Even if games dont sell as well on the Wii, development costs are a lot cheaper for them and thus they make a profit on the games.
