http://wii.ign.com/articles/820/820658p1.html when you read some of the comments by the users it's very funny, especially one of them saying that nintendo is greedy for selling systems that are making money while other companies are loosing money. wtf is that guy thinking?! my favorite comment, "Anyone here read Atlas Shrugged? The comments people are making here sounds like they're straight out of that book. "Companies that are in business to make a profit are evil! They should only be here for the benefit of the people! EVIL!" Very communist sounding. But as other people have said, MS and Sony have made huge profits on all kinds of other over-priced crap (MS pretty much has a monopoly on the OS business), that they can afford the loss", gnslinger he makes a good point, if a company is more economical, then it's just being smart. sony and microsoft is pushing their limits and in return have to loose some money for it. sony and micro don't really consider cost, they just sell. nintendo tries to sell but with the idea of cost with it, which explains why they manage to earn profit while selling less.
As opposed to sony who lose mega bucks with each psp which is why they are constantly bringing out new firmware and threatening legal action to shut down import sites (like lik-sang) and even force some developers to stop developing.
This just makes me sad. Nintendo seems to be the lesser of the 3 evils IMO. The xbox 360 breaks about every month, and you have to pay $50 a year just to play online. (Gay). and the ps3 is just shit. (And both of them price their games at $60). But if Nintendo wants to stay in my good books, they need to start getting their act together. (I bought my Wii, and I expect some good online games that aren't shit).
