Reports in today indicate that profits over at Nintendo are booming. For the second quarter of this year revenues were up 72%, owing largely to the DS' popularity.
Conversely, things over at Sony aren't quite as sweet. They're having a tough time of it, profits for Q2 being down a staggering 94%. A major factor in this has been the exploding laptop battery fiasco, 9.6 million of the batteries have been recalled.
Sony expects to see further losses thanks to slowing PSP sales and a price cut in Japan for their shameful PS3 contraption. Aww!

Shame on Sony. If you cheat and take shortcuts and close down a company that wasn't hurting anyone you will never prosper.
Jrapocalypse said:
Sony is evil, a maker of very bad hardware and a company that makes bad business decisions year after year. Sony likes to hurt good companies like lik-sang then they deserve to have the same treatment and I believe they do!

Vengeance for Lik-Sang.

Nintendo have been in profits within the games industry for the past 20 years, they have never made a loss. DS profits, Gamecube profits, Wii shall profit. Sony's music and general electrical isn't doing so good. PSP sells at a loss and no one buys PSP movies or games. PS3 is way too expensive and shall sell at a loss. I feel Sony are treading on thin ice but Nintendo are doing great.

Sony's thinking is extremely linear and causing their downfall. They seem to think the market can be bought over with more powerful products, but as seen with the Nintendo DS this strategy won't always work. In the long run the customers will tire of it. The PS3 looks almost exactly like the PS1 and PS2, including the controllers, except with more powerful specs. I personally have tired of this and I think Nintendo has done a wonderful job giving me something creative and original to look forward to. I must concede, the lack of power the Wii has causes some sadness in my heart, because I would have loved to see that extra power combined with the Wii's brilliant design, but I do see the reason behind this and put my trust in Nintendo.

Great analysis aaron. Anyways, something tells me that PS3 is the last effort in gaming for Sony. They are pushing a 10 year lifespan but in 5 years, the Wii2 will be better than the PS3 in all respects. If the PS3's launch is perfect, then Sony's back in business (unfortunately), but we all know that you have a higher chance of "Halo Wii" coming out than PS3 having a perfect launch.

Sony is going to lose it, Nintendo was able to sell 500,000 n64s within 24 hours in Japan! PS3 is dead!

Good I hate Sony.

Just to think, if the DS is going to do this much for Nintendo, how much is the Wii going to do for them?

Yes! Die Sony! YOU MUST DIEEEEE! You know, this is the best news I've had all month.

The people at Sony are idiots. The PS3 was slated to have 3 HDMI ports and extra useless crap (this was when they revealed the prices!). Like I have 3 plasma HDTVs laying around. They "say" that they were scrapped because of production costs. Even afterwards, the prices are STILL THE SAME! Thanks for thinking about your loyal customers Sony, but not even they can save you when you bite the dust. Millions of faulty laptop batteries + dead UMD + high cost + sketchy BluRay = RECIPE FOR DISASTER. Sony is going to rape us with microtransactions and useless music and movie downloads to recoup. I REALLY hope that Wii is compatible with USB hard drives so it can be a media center with 2x space at 1/2 the price. Sony, where's my damn toast!

Go home Sony. Make dvd players and toasters where you belong. Your console design stinks, it's dated and always hard to program.

If Sony dies I hope all its cool games go to Nintendo. You know like final fantasy, kingdom hearts and devil may cry.
DarkVic said:
Hey, Sony still has its enthusiasts. Although I'm sure Nintendo has much more people backing them up, Sony ain't down for the count. Not that I'm going to buy a PS3 or anything.

Sony is dead and Nintendo is the best.

Haha Wii FTW. Sony continues to slide down.
You know who said:
Brothers and sisters of NINTENDO. We must band together to take down the evil menacing Sony. Bring you torches and pitchforks, WII will destroy Sony!

Muhaha, die Sony.
Dao2-SKP said:
You all should stop being so hateful on Sony. Yes I think PS3 is a HUGE mistake and that Sony are retarded but why wish their downfall? So what if they make a system too, it doesn't hurt! Actually competition will probably force Nintendo into making better things.
Ekaj185 said:
Wii is so awesome but the PS3 is a heavy fat piece of crap. If Nintendo made the PS3 they could have made it the size of a gameboy. Anyway best news ever thank you Wii's world. You da best.

Sony is shit, haha. Go wii go.
Wii Monster said:
Two words: GO NINTENDO! Who is going to pay $600-$700 for a PS3? I don't mind how bad that is, but the PS3 seems like a waste of money to me. And great job Nintendo! The DS is awesome. No wonder Nintendo made so much money. Oh and Sony, Shame! Thanks for the news, Wii's World! Keep up the good work.

Nintendo Wii is the revolution. If there will be Wii 2 with power equal to its rivals and no new wiimotes - just something new to plug into wiimote, imagine where this could end.
BrothaZ said:
THANK GOD! Sony deserves to be shot, beaten, then shot again. They stole the idea of motion-sensory from wii, they expect $700 for one PS3, PSP controlling is fudged up, and PS2 only played w/ two players.
wii-mote dude said:
Has anyone noticed that nintendo is the only company that never puts extra numbers on the old title of their system when they release a new one? And Dao2-SKP, good point, but they killed lik-sang, so now we're angry. SONY MUST DIE! EVERYBODY CHANT!

In response to Master Foot's post, they probably ran off with it, burnt it black, dipped it in chemical acid, stuffed as many blu-ray diodes as they could into it, ran over it with a pickup truck, shot it into the stratosphere strapped to a firework, and gave you a post-it with a crude drawing of a piece of toast on it. But man, those blu-ray diodes sure make a heck of a firework, don't they?

And sony went Wii Wii Wii all the way home.
i need a wii...eww said:
The only decent thing sony can make is phones, can't say toasters they're all the same. With their exploding batteries they might get a job in the armory.
Scofield said:
Nintendo has done something that sony WILL NEVER DO, it is make my mom take away from my hands the Nintendo DS to play brain age herself. With the Wii my mom said he is actually going to play the Wii sports game. Can anyone tell me if Sony has done something like that? I don't think so.
Maximus said:
Made my day. Party on, Wii! I knew it was doing well, but profits up 72%?! That's just unbelievable.
Pikachu Electron said:
Well sony is stupid. With the rate sony is going at, soon sony will shut down. Maybe sony should sell off the Sony Computer Entertainment to Nintendo where they make better use of it. Sony are a bunch of wuss bag idiots that love lots of money in their pocket and let them eat cake. Phil Harrisen is a big fat loser that ate his bum off. I LOVE Nintendo.
