"Something tells me you don't know a single thing about the console industry."

It takes a fanboy to swallow a FIVE HUNDRED MILLION loss without batting an eyelash.

Something tells me you don't know a single thing about business or investing.

Nintendo can't win at consoles and lose at business all day long. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, they can't be loss leaders. Xbox can run 500,000,000$ losses and be fine.

Nintendo can't.

You know what the difference between past-Nintendo haters and new ones?

In the past, Nintendo ALWAYS profited. Every weak console = profit. They have never lost $500,000,000 in a single year.

But hey, MASSIVE losses are nothing, right?
