Nintendo at #10 with the only thing they make being video games, consoles, and merch is pretty good.

And movies. And amusement parks. And, of course, Alarmo.

I agree. It's great both companies are doing well.

 

[Gaiff]

They made what? 2 movies?

 

[Mr Moose]

They made what? 2 movies?

Lots. Pokémon movies mostly, I think.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

By the end of the decade they'll probably be the biggest company (market cap) in Japan.

 

[willothedog]

Only 105 places behind Microsoft globally.

 

[Horseganador]

It's only natural with Playstation comfortably dominating the gaming market and printing money.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Only 105 places behind Microsoft globally.

Who won the console war again?

 

[Parazels]

Guys, sell your Toyotas, if you want to help Sony detrone the car manufacturer!

Nintendo.

Why are Sony worth so little?

 

[Katatonic]

Only 105 places behind Microsoft globally.

Which makes it that much more embarrassing for MS and it's "fans".

Finally the xbox 360 exclusive Yaris game makes sense

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Sony truly embodies the spirit of Yasuke, Japan's most fearsome samurai warrior.

 

[TheRedRiders]

You're next Toyota, you sons of bitches.

fuck you - they make great cars.

 

[rabbity-thing]

Congrats to the shareholders!

I own a few shares. . . LOL
Not enough for it to matter.

Hell yeah

I can almost taste the tears in this post.

 

[Generic]

And yet they can't drop the price of the Ps5 for... reasons.

 

[The artful mincer]

By the end of the decade they'll probably be the biggest company (market cap) in Japan.

Really depends how Toyota handle the transition to electric cars. They ain't doing too well at the moment.

 

[adamsapple]

Congratulations to Sony Music and Pictures

Now imagine if Concord wasn't a disaster

 

[Parazels]

Now imagine if Concord wasn't a disaster

We should give Sony a credit for cancelling Concord. They admitted their mistake.

 

[Alebrije]

Good...

 

[Physiognomonics]

Who won the console war again?

Nintendo did.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Nintendo did.

Nintendo pivoted. Sony won the traditional console war.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Nintendo pivoted. Sony won the traditional console war.

Absurd. Nintendo were doing portable consoles 6 years before Sony released their PS1.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Absurd. Nintendo were doing portable consoles 6 years before Sony released their PS1.

Which is irrelevant. They'd never released a Switch type device.....before the Switch, and did so because their efforts to take on the traditional home console segment had failed.

 

[Senua]

Nintendo pivoted. Sony won the traditional console war.

Well that's one way to have your favourite "win"

 

[Hudo]

Congratulations to all shareholders.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

I get that some of you are getting your feathers ruffled, but history backs that statement. The release of the Switch showed a clear directional shift because what they were doing wasn't working.

Should they release another console in the vein of the GameCube against an upcoming PlayStation, and win, then we can revisit this type of discussion. Until that time, having a handheld component is what will continue to drive their monstrous success! No shade, just the facts.

The Switch is a videogame console, end of.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

The Switch is a videogame console, end of.

But wouldn't be the success it is without also being a portable device. End of.

Irrelevant to the conversation, it's you looking for reasons to discount it because it doesn't let sony "win"

No, it's not strictly about "winning" a console war, it's offering perspective where it is lacking. They changed directions because they couldn't compete head-to-head with PlayStation and Xbox in that space. They tried with the GameCube. Lost miserably. Their first pivot was with the Wii, which made major headway because A. The PS3 was expensive/hard to develop for and B. they introduced motion controls to the masses, proving to be a hit. Then came the Wii U, which also failed, because the motion control pivot had dried up and they were back to just being "another home console". So, with the Switch, they married their most successful idea to a home console and made it work, but wouldn't be where they are with it if they hadn't.

So, it's not about "winning and losing" to beat chests, it's about one company staying the course, and retaining marketshare, while the other had to make major changes to do so.

No, it's pointing out that Nintndo didn't "win" a console war. They changed directions because they couldn't compete head-to-head with PlayStation and Xbox in that space. They tried with the GameCube. Lost miserably. Their first pivot was with the Wii, which made major headway because A. The PS3 was expensive and B. they introduced motion controls to the masses, proving to be a hit. Then came the Wii U, which also failed. So, with the Switch, they married their most successful idea to a home console — portable.

So, it's not about "winning and losing" to beat chests, it's about one company staying the course, and retaining marketshare, while the other had to make major changes to do so.

If mental gymnastics was a sport you'd be rather successful amigo. It doesn't matter how they won the console war, it's the fact that they bloody well did.
