That is just sad. Now, I know Microsoft makes billions of dollars in other avenues...so? Microsoft is still a business. Businesses are SUPPOSED to make as much profit as possible. Now, Microsoft made a lot of profit despite the losses in their gaming sector. However, if there were no Xbox 360, they would have made so much more.Losing a billion dollars trying to bulldoze its way into the gaming industry is just not smart business. It is foolish IMO. Heck, overall, they've lost far more than that. The 1st Xbox was never really profitable, nor is Xbox 360.
If Microsoft only had its gaming division to rely on like Nintendo does, then Microsoft would have been dead a long time ago. Same goes for Sony because of the PS3 debacle. So, you can say "Nintendo is ruining gaming" :cry: all you want, but the fact remains that Nintendo is the smartest business entity of the big 3. See, Nintendo does what a business is supposed to do 1st and foremost...make money!

Sure Nintendo is making money, but at what cost? They are completely alienating there fanbase, and lowering the standards of gaming, to what make a fast buck?
Nintendo may be hiting it big with the non gamer, but they are going to lose big time with the Next-Gen gamer.
And thats why xbox360 and the PS3 will do fine, Nintendo is not going to push them out of the race, Nintendo may make more money this gen, but they will not win when it comes to the games, and thats where it all matters.
Nintendo handhelds have ALWAYS had worse graphics than the competition and less "features" available. Funny how no one EVER complains about DS lite...there are quirky games, unique control scheme, worse audio than PSP, worse graphics than PSP.Look at Wii...Worse audio than PS3, worse graphics than PS3, unique control scheme...but somehow Wii is considered "bad for the gaming public and alienating the consumer". I just LOVE THE DOUBLE STANDARD. If you dare say that about Wii, then THE EXACT SAME STATEMENT APPLIES TO DS LITE! Oh wait....no one DARES say that about DS lite because DS lite is so beloved. Wii is beloved too, but a double standard exists for some weird reason. It is perfectly fine for a handheld to have less features, worse graphics, more quirky games, worse audio than competitors, BUT IT IS A MORTAL SIN FOR WII TO HAVE THOSE SAME FEATURES?? :roll: Whatever...you know full well a double-standard exists with Wii. But PLEASE explain why this is. I'm confused...
Cause no one really expects state of the art gaming from handhelds. You have failed, into exile you must go. Bye2u
