Stupid URL bug.

"Sony recently announced that it would ready 400,000 PS3s in North America and another 100,000 in Japan for the system's launch. Nintendo said it plans to ship 4 million Wii units worldwide by the end of the year."
lol

Sony: 500000x$600 = $300,000,000
Ninty: $4000000x$250 = $1,000,000,000

Well that's assuming they sell all of them. But at least their outlook looks a lot better than Sony's ATM.

It really doesn't work that way. You have to assume that Sony isn't charging $600 because they're greedy. They probably have much higher production costs. Maybe they're making only $150 off each unit, and Nintendo is making $100.

50,000*150= $7,500,000
4,000,000*100 = $400,000,000

A much larger difference.

Then you have to take into effect one-time costs, like research and development (in the millions for sure) and advertising (probably not all that much) and the difference between the two net profits gets larger and larger.

Too many unknowns to see if they'll make much money or not, but selling that few units is crazy considering what it must have cost to get them ready. I wonder what Sony is thinking.

Nintendo claimed that they would not be making a loss of their first wave of Wiis.

Unlike Microsoft and Sony, they will be losing money, they already stated that.


I wonder when ssbb is coming out?

As long as they will come out here in Europe I couldnīt be happier, still waiting for Kingdom Hearts II to be released...

And I hope that Ssbb will be out on release day.

Oddly enough US of A and South of A are getting the Wii faster then Japan itself..

Isn't that weird?
