Are you sure they will be the ones to pull thru it? I worry that at this point they will be forced out before it gets to that point. Maybe a new player will come in then and push ahead? Of course I dont want Nintendo to stop making consoles/handhelds.
I feel they're more likely to than the rest. Nintendo, then Sony, then Microsoft.
Yes but my point is roughly it doesn't matter what they are spending it on they can't keep spending at this rate or there will be no company to collect on any long term gain. You can't indefinately spend large chunks of cash and say it's a long term investment. Simple as that no more or less.
If they were continually spending at this rate, you'd have a point, but these are one-off things.
