Quote:Then that's not a very solid arguementative peice then is it?
Nintendo thinks of Japan first, huh? Maybe that's why they are in third place.
In Japan they're not... actually, going by the weekly sales charts (and including handhelds), they're in first... overall in Japan (total sales) they're probably in second, though it's probably close. :)
The US? Well, again it depends on if you count handhelds... if you don't they're in third, but if you do I'm sure they're ahead of MS. GBA and DS are very successful systems... PSP? Yes, in the US PSP is beating DS, but with the release of Nintendogs DS sales picked up. Now if they can keep that going with the release of some of the other successful market-expanding DS titles they released in Japan (Brain Training, etc)...

Huh? No, you should make your own argument, and not rely on analysts for "help"...
Quote:Nintendo does lose money at first, just like everyone else. They make it back through cost reduction on hardware and software sales.
They lose less.
