No. Microsoft blew their money on crap 3rd party exclusives for the first 2 years and expected to sell 300 million units by now.

They had nothing planned for the remainder of this generation and it's too late right now to build a strong list of exclusives as they never planned for the possibility of only selling 15 million units after 3 years.

You are completely insane if you think the Xbone 1.5 is at 10 TF. You just discredited yourself by posting this bullcrap.

The Xbone 1.5 will be weaker than the base PS4 model because Microsoft is not as smart as Cerny. Get it through your thick skull.

8 hours until lemming meltdown. =)

So sad that lemmings only have garbage immature games to play while cows have the greatest, emotional, intelligent and mature games to play.

LOL at the delusional lemmings here hoping for the impossible. How precious and adorable! LOL...

Now go back to your herd at misterxmedia.com.

2019 -2021.

Yeah, why doesn't Nintendo just bring back playing cards again. I'm sure that'll bring in billions of dollars in revenue like gaming consoles. LOL...

Nintendo doesn't know anything except gaming. If both their handheld and consoles are netting them tons of losses, they will go third party.

What else are they going to do? At least with mario on the Xbox and PlayStation, they have the name brand to get higher software sales than ever. Branching out to a new industry is very risky.

Because Nintendo had at least 1 successful hardware for the past few generations.

The gameboy, gameboy color, gameboy advanced, NDS, Wii, and 3DS.

However, for the upcoming years, Nintendo is looking to have both their next handheld and next console flop.

Just that failing combo alone can generate billions in losses every year. $10 billion is nothing if you have no successful product.

You really think a company still generating revenue from selling hardware will say they will go third party openly? They may not say anything about third party out in the open, but you can bet your sweet juicy ass that Nintendo execs are contemplating it behind closed doors. I thought you were a business major.

See, here's the thing. You may have your fancy business BA from Harvard or Wharton or whatever, but I actually own my own import/export, customs brokerage + actuarial firm netting $7 million per year. And all I have is a math, econ double major degree from a top 15 university.

You need common sense to succeed in business, not degrees or education.

Multiple vendors bring the average manufacturing price down, but it does not mean the supplier has to charge the same amount for every vendor.

A vendor who is a bigger seller will not tolerate getting the same rate as a lower seller. Furthermore, the average selling rate for the supplier is skewed by vendors with bigger scale (SONY), so the actual selling rate to lower scale clients like Nintendo will be much higher than the average.

Whatever Nintendo is getting, AMD will give SONY something 2x as better for half the price.
