jerry Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Profit doesn't mean much. These comanies don't care a whole lot about making money on the consoles at this point. They just want to have the most poular one. The numbers speak for themselves. Nintendo was 3rd in sales last round, ie: they lost. 585933525[/snapback] Microsoft is the only player in the console market which is ready to lose money for market share. I dont think Sony or Nintendo would ever under price their consoles. Damn the conference got delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hhahaha! Look at this joker. Yes, companies DONT CARE TO MAKE LOTS OF MONEY. Did you actually say that? 585933547[/snapback] They are looking to make money long term, they know they aren't going to see a profit short term. All 3 companies know that this is going to be a war that will take place over several console releases. It's not about who makes the most money right now, it's about who is #1. The one who estabilshes themselves as #1 will only end up making more money in the future. It's a popularity contest right now. Plain and simple.

Phemo Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 That was about the dumbest thing I've heard in my life... 585933565[/snapback] Yes and no. If you're a 3rd party games producer, what would you want to bring your games out on? The console that's sold the least or the most? That's one instance I can think of - games producers want their games to be available to as many as possible. One example would be the GTA games - out on PS2 and soon to be Xbox, do you see a GC version? No. I'm not slating the GC, but maybe, just maybe, the fact it sold the least of all 3 consoles is part of the reason games like GTA aren't available on it.

AbandonedTrolley Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Live stream at GameCube cafe!: GameCube Cafe 585933535[/snapback] Not to do with the Revolution but looking at that link, those shots for Zelda get me more excited than any of the Next Gen I've seen with exception for Kill Zone Nintendo has released new screenshots for The Legend of Zelda screenshots just hours before the Media Briefing. Hit the links to view the awesome new screens. GCCafe will also have gameplay videos of Zelda later next week and highlight clips of the Media Briefing later tonight. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So end of argument. Doesn't matter which way you see it, all companies moves, marketing and sales are all in the end transalate to profits, which means Nintendo did the best.

Erich Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I would bring out my game on the console that has the best technology to support the type of game I'd be making. As a game creator, I'm very indiscriminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would care more about how well they're selling so that their games are available to the consoles that have sold the most. That means more games are likely to sell for them, therefore more money for them. Of course, the majority of the great games come out on all 3 systems anyway.

Eli Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Nintendo's stream is so far faster and has some better music then Microsofts. Is it just me or does the music fade in and out for no reason whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only sold 1 million more then GameCube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Microsoft always thinks years and years ahead. They didn't plan to ever make a profit on the first Xbox. They were immensely elated when it did for the first time last year. But they aren't in a hurry to start making money. They see the Xbox division as an entrypoint into your living room. Selling you the console isn't where they make the money. And selling you games is just the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
