You must be the only person on the planet unaware of this.
Everyone knows that the production costs of the Xbox/PS2/360 are much greater than those of the GC, and so these machines are sold at a loss. The plan is to make the money back on games, which would be okay, if it weren't for the fact that, on average, a GC owner will have more games for their machine than a PS2/Xbox owner will have for theirs, ergo Nintendo make a profit on both the machine AND the games, and thus still make more money from games than either Sony or Microsoft.
And yes, so Nintendo have never been the most popular in Europe. And? As long as Nintendo are still making money, I doubt they'll lose any sleep over it. The SNES was second to the MegaDrive, the N64 to the PS, and the GameCube to the PS2 AND Xbox. It's not like this is a new thing. When you consider the financial dire straits Sega were in when they went third party, Nintendo are still light years away from this.
So, to reiterate my previous point: THEY AIN'T GOING NOWHERE.
The end.

Latest Line #4 - The Truth About Nintendo – Part Twonintendoinsider.com/site/EEEZuAypVuTuOJPzyb.php Scroll down to the heading "THE BIG TEST: OPERATING EARNINGS". It's from a Nintendo site, but the figures match with those of more reputable news sources. (The figures are more concise and less fragmented in this link) Nintendo profit hit by weak console, software sales66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:Pmfc5yq6KE0J:asia.tech.yahoo.com/051124/afp/051124173248aht.html+nintendo+profit&hl=enNintendo's sales slip to a mere $308m Microsoft lose money, Sony make a profit, but Nintendo make huge profit margin. Seriously, if you really wanted these figures you could've Googled them and saved me ten minutes of my time. Frankly, it's bad enough that you keep making me look like a WANGRA by forcing me to point out your idiocies. If you'd like to even it out, maybe you could make some wild, unfounded claims about how brilliant Nintendo are so that I can dismiss those as well.

a message to Claire and voodoo: The first table is evidence FOR my argument not against it. ;D in that same post Golden Dragoon wrote 'Nintendo have never had the "throne" in Europe at least'. I can see no place it that post where I claimed that Nintendo never had the thronein Europe? and its not like I have edited it out either as my last edit was in November.

Ha ha very funny. but don't think i'm that gullible. the quote was there and you have obviously edited it. maybe its got something to do with the 'moderator' under your name.

In Japan, they call it "ワングラ".* In France, "Le Wangre".
*It says "wangura," which might mean something, but if it does I've never heard it. Googling it came up with something to do with a PS2 game, how apt. WANGURA!

I am willing to take that bet, the only time I edited that message was shortly after I posted it to corect spelling and that was in November, well before you even started posting. And yes I am a moderator, but that dosn't give me unlimited powers, I can't just edit posts without it showing up, nor can D.j. or Jamie, and Jamie is an admin.

Jamie, stop being a whinging Nintendo WANGRA and make a PSP-friendly version of these forums. I just had to spend several MINUTES just so I could read Voodoo's latest grunting (not really, Voo, I like you).
(Whilst you're at it, could you invent a second screen for the PSP that I can just touch to type in web addresses and messages?)
