Didn't I clearly say it's a rumour? Go find the story for yourself dipshit, I dont' need to post a link, my word is golden.
... and Listen Large, to you Nintendo may be a non factor, but as of this quarter, they're the only company making consoles in the world that's profitable. Microsoft hasn't turned 1 penny since launching the X-Box, and Sony is hemmoraging money left and right, even with the release of the PSP. the Nintendo DS (which most people see as a gimmick) is outselling the PSP week after week in the united states, and outselling it by 300% in Japan. Of the home consoles, the Gamecube is selling far less than the playstation or xbox, but making much more money, because it's business done smart. So don't expect them to go anywhere anytime soon. Peace~

To avoid confusion why don't you say Nintendo's gaming division is the only game division of all three company's that is making a large profit at the moment? Clearly Sony and Microsoft as companies make a lot more money than Nintendo and have a lot more money to spend supporting their gaming divisions. It would also help if you mention that Nintendo doesn't make a dime selling their home consoles. Both Sony and Microsoft are too big and to powerful to abandon the video game market given the number of systems sold they have and number of software sales. Microsoft looks to be in it for the long haul and Sony is currently in between profits. Everyone knew (including Sony) that the first couple quarters of the PSP the gaming division wouldn't make much money, and the same goes for the beginning stages of the PS3. It takes money to make money. If Sony isn't beating in profits Nintendo 2 quarters after the PS3 is released then they have to start making changes, but I can't see that happening.

Exactly. You'd have to buy all your games again.
That would be enough to really piss somebody off.

So, to avoid confusion, I have to remind people that i'm talking about Microsoft's game division, and Sony's game division? How is that confusing to anybody? Of course I'm talking about their games, you think i'm going to tell people that Nintendo's making more money than Bill Gates or Sony Pictures? Don't be the bitch you always are. Fight your instinct, and just admit the truth.
Also, lets talk about your statement "Nintendo doesn't make anything on their home consoles". that's not true. They clearly don't sell anywhere near as many as Sony or Microsoft, but once again, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Nintendo, at the launch of the Gamecube, was making a profit on the hardware... everytime they sold a gamecube, profit. Microsoft was losing large amounts of money with every xbox sold, and Sony was losing large amounts of money with every Sony sold. Only recently, by cutting the price all the way down to 99 dollars and including a game, is Nintendo losing money on the hardware sales, and it's about 8 bucks a system. Microsoft is losing over a hundred dollars every time it sells an Xbox, and Sony is similar. Nintendo has a much smarter, more conservative business plan, and like it has before with tons of other companies, in the end, it will pay off.
On top of this, Nintendo's sales of their own titles for the Gamecube are huge. They make a ton of money off the gamecube, you just don't wanna fuckin' believe it. Nintendo is the #3 home hardware company in the world, and the #2 home software company in the world. Sorry to burst your bubble. That's NOT counting any portable sales, of which, of course, they've ran the market for the past 20 fucking years. Suck a Dick~
