Because their last two "main" consoles, the N64 and the GameCube, were severely hammered by the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2. I haven't compared global XBox sales to global GC sales recently, but when I last did the Xbox was just ahead.
And the angle isn't pretty tired for Nintendo. Try telling them, or any business, that money doesn't matter. If they don't make acceptable profits on the Revolution, you won't be seeing any more Nintendo consoles, with the possible exception of handhelds, and judging from how their previous two efforts fared...
Even if Nintendo has (or will) fall into third place, there's no way you can justify using that to make judgements about their money status.
Nintendo has only posted one half-year financial loss in the 41 years they've been public. It wasn't even during the N64 days. The last time I checked, Microsoft's home and entertainment division has posted 9-figure losses each quarter. Not to bash Microsoft, but comparatively, Nintendo seems just dandy.
It's totally irrelevant who is in third, as video games are a multi-billion dollar industry, and there are only three companies at the helm.
To me, Nintendo third place or not will still gain money if they make their moves right and avoid losses. The main point is, are you having fun with your current console? If you are, then good, others are having fun with theirs o_o
BTW i think nintendo said if they are dropping out of consoles, they are gone for good so no handhelds. Be a sad day i say if it happens.
Yeah, Nintendo won't go the way Sega went.
A quitter, Sega is.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
This makes me happy.
Now I may get one before heading off to college, price pending at the time.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
