You just don't help yourself with this flip-flopping. So now you're back to trying to use Sony as a whole as a means of deflecting the results shown in this thread and actual operating profits made from gaming based business.
Again, if you want to do that then by the same token you must be an advocate that MS is killing Sony and leaving them in the dust. After all, if you're going to include Sony's non-gaming related business such as movies, music, finance etc. in the measure of their gaming success then you must also be okay with MS including their cloud computing, data processing, security contracting etc. In which case you've just put yourself in a whole moving your precious Sony from Second behind Nintendo to a far, far distant second behind MS
You cited the gaming divisions revenue when you thought it helped your case. That got flattened when actual operating profit figures were provided, so you then decided to try and shift the goalposts to "bu-buh-but... all of Sony counts" but that fails miserably. You've tried pulling the "stick to the topic" card when you continually cannot and keep reaching desperately outside the topic for different scope because you're just so damn triggered and upset by the news that you're in here running a desperate and wholly counter-productive dfense for something that absolutely didn't need defending.
Your entire interaction with this thread, every post across the first three pages, and then every interaction of this interaction, is nothing but a series of "Bu-buh-but...". You have no argument, right from the outset all you've been doing is trying to derail the thread posting swipes at Nintendo and trying to big up your precious toy and it's manufacturer. It's just a toy. The Company doesn't give a shit about you and it doesn't need your desperate and cloying cheerleading and ill-considered defence.
No, I'm not, I'm saying you can't use the entirety of Nintendo against one division of SONY. The argument is if you want to prove the SWITCH has better operating profits than PS4 you need to give numbers for those two, pointing out Nintendo as a whole makes more of a profit (and only by a bit) while including their handheld market, trading cards, merchandising and everything else is highly disingenuous. You really need to work on your reading comprehension, though, because I have never once argued you should consider SONY as a whole. I never was attempting to derail the thread, if you guys didn't keep responding with disingenuous posts I'd have nothing more to say.
There's no indication that this is true. Post some proof.
Nintendo exclusives vastly outsell Sony exclusives. It's not even close. If you add them all up, Sony has sold around 90 million exclusive games, while Nintendo is already at around 160 million, and that's with a much smaller install base of consoles and with half the time in comparison to Sony. As I said, it's not even close.
No, I was talking about profits, revenue doesn't matter much. You can make a trillion dollar in revenue and still make zero money. Nintendo makes much more profit than Playstation. And as someone posted above, Nintendo makes 96% of their revenue from their dedicate video game platflorm, so your point doesn't stand.
Wait, you want proof Nintendo makes a bigger profit on selling consoles than PS4? Why would I prove that? I don't care.
The individual games do not "vastly" outsell the biggest SONY exclusive, the biggest gap is 10 million between Uncharted 4 and Mario Kart 8. I don't consider that "vast" nor do I consider games selling 2 million more vast, but hey I did admit their exclusives sell more, I'm just saying it doesn't mean as much on PS4 because there's a bigger number of options. I'm also assuming you're figuring this out using the Wikipedia lists which don't even think Call of Duty Modern Warfare charts as a game selling more than 1 million copies? So, that's about how reliable that is, unless you have better sources? The Wikipedia requires hard numbers to be announced by publishers and even then it's up to random people to be updated, hence the list looking absurd.
Wait, I'm trying so hard to follow your argument, you asked me to prove they make profits off the Switch costing less to produce but you're citing the argument of... the person who argued that? Are you losing your mind here?
