Nintendo has been making money on each and every console they have sold.Firelore29I'm sure they haven't made back R&D yet.
You sure the DS Lite sold 1,334,711,108,452 in one week?Ibacai
In Japan, would you be honestly surprised if this was the case? :D

wow 360 has no chance this generation.
so you think sony selling like 50k (which its less than) a month more than the 360 in Japan is better for sony than the 360 selling over almost 100k than the ps3 in NA?

Ouch is actually spanish for ouch. :/
[QUOTE="Metroid_Time"]PS3 is being outsold by the PS2. Whatever happened to cows getting all riled up by the 360 being outsold by old hardware?Bread_or_Decide
Prob the same reason why Sheep don't care that the DS is outselling the Wii.
A company does not compete with itself. Sony has slots 3,4 and 5 all to itself. That is not a bad thing at all.
And 3+4+5 still does not equal the 2nd place sales, much less first.
gives the quality of the games and the price and the sales, looks like there are two battles
1) XBOX360 VS PS3
2) PS2 VS wii Gears360
I expected you to be in this theard makeing a fanboy comment.. It was only a matter of time.

Damage controle or bragging is not the purpose of this post. Just trying to start a debate about the current trend in Japan, and what that means for the industry if it continues....
[QUOTE="sps9"]wow good post btw. but you forgot to mention. these consoles are bound to loose money period. these consoles are made for long term, not short term. all 3 companies know they will loose money in the first few years, it's only common sense.guys, quit falling back on the ps2 as a defense for Sony
last week in japan
PS3 = 11,948 x $300 LOSS per console = -$3,600,000
PS2 = 12,872 x $130 = $1,690,000
even if the ps2's retail price is 100% profit (which it is NOT), Sony still loses 2 million dollars overall on console sales in Japan last week
no more "sales of the ps2 are going to help Sony drop the ps3 price" comments any more ok
alfy13
theres also money they are getting from blu-ray movie sales, game royalties, and im betting they even sold a few hdtv's because of the ps3. building the ps3 as multimedia device was a profitable decision by sony.

Of course they are important. It's simply another market to sell consoles.
