Now, since somebody happened to say that, you are using that to categorize all of us opposing viewpoints. That is silly so you should stop bringing that up. The people who did say that haven't thought about it, or were just joking.

The reason thats the main point of the argument in this thread is because thats what the thread was started on. the rest of the thread really is an argument about that point. its not that one just happened to wonder in and say it, is that the thread was started on that exact thought. no ones catagorizing everyone, its was just still a debate about that original thought.

Second, you guys keep saying that these are companies and companies try to make money. Well, guess what? Nintendo made more than XBox this console war because they didn't have to take a loss on their hardware. Plus, they have the handheld market (for now). Even if PSP takes a foothold, you cannot deny that they will have the majority for at least this generation.

So, Nintendo is not going broke, so it really doesn't have to worry about going third party. My feeling is it still has a console or two under it's belt before it gets hard to tell whats going to happen.

at this point its way too early of who will have the majority in the handheld market for this generation. if your already ruling sony out i'd say your way ahead of yourself. right now its up for grabs. either could end up taking majority. odds are for nintendo, but that doenst mean anyone else has no shot.

and the discussion was never about who made more money on each console. it was about the fact that they are trying to make money. This point was not brought up to say nintendo is failing, it was brought up because someone said nintendo's the only one who makes games just for enjoyment. which is wrong, they do it to make money. That said, even if one company makes much more on each console sold, that doesnt mean they're doing better, the other company could be selling way way more and getting more because of it. Nintendo does not have to go bankrupt to sell, they just have to be hit with a deal they really like.
