^^ VAIO and Walkman are included, and MS lost about 6 billion in Xbox 1 era

actually MS lost 4.202 billion for the first xbox, meaning sony lost more than when MS entered the industry (though not by much).

@Seraphic

nintendo has NEVER lost money in a single quarter

SEGA lost loads....but nowhere near as much as PS3/Xbox 1.....but the losses they made were big enough for them to get out of console production

MS made huge losses



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

During the Gamecube era there was a single quarter when they lost money, but only about $20-30m and mainly because of an unfavorable exchange rate.

are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure Nintendo has never posted a loss for any quarter ever.

 

Got a link?

Aren't companies supposed to quit when they're losing billions of dollars a year? What the hell's wrong with these people?

Sony and MS are big companies, a 4 billion loss won't hurt em. But a 4 billion loss for Nintendo would be devestating.

How could you trust such a beautiful delicate art form like game design to a gigantic corporation that can't even spend a single day without losing 3 million dollars?
