Star Nintendo Sees 52% Profit Drop

Games Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

Just looking at the growth over the past 12 months it's clear the PS3 is finally taking charge.


I wouldn't necessarily go that far. The PS3's future has a lot to do with the answers to these questions...

1. How much of the growth was/is motivated by a desire to buy a game console -- or a [now] competitively priced Blu-Ray player? Or, put another way, will people buy games?

2. How many hit exclusive titles will there be for the PS3 over the next year?

3. What impact will further price cuts for competing game consoles have on the market (as they're certainly sure to do)?
