"Despite Nintendo's third place standing in console sales, the creator of Donkey Kong and Mario are by no means out of the fight. According to a 600 page report by DFC Intelligence, Nintendo's game revenue (i.e., profit) stands at US$4.6 billion, second only to Sony's $8.2 billion last year. Better still--or worse if you're MS or Sony--Nintendo is the most profitable of the three, with a line of record-breaking games and a kitty of $7 billion."
As you can see, even though Nintendo aren't too fussed about advertising their best games heavily, they're still gowing and making healthy profits. However:
"All is not rosy in the land of the big-headed games, though; the report points to Nintendo's persistent short-sightedness and lack of adult and online games as a potential issue. Add to that the company's over-reliance on portable gaming and you've got a potential problem. Overall, though, the report looks favorably on Nintendo, calling the company a "video game powerhouse." The true indicators of Nintendo's future will be the next 5 years, when the next generation of consoles come out and every company gets to reinvent itself in a sense."
So, a possible brain haemorrhage for Nintendo?

Doesnt't look like happening soon. Who would risk being the "healthiest" of the three just to be the most popular?
Yup.
But it would be good if they also kicked Sony and MS off the market.
If only......

I don't care.
