Like always, it's the upcoming holiday season which will be far more important.
Sony is generating a still healthy profit despite employing many more people than Microsoft does for many years now, focussing on a much more varierty of top notch products.
They ran a profit overall and their gaming division again turned a profit like for the last holiday season, the long term outlook is actually pretty good financially. Microsoft has a monopoly with regard to the PC market which will bump profits for many years to come unless there's going to be a new and fair antitrust case. Sony is competiting within highly competitive markets and performs rather well compared to its various consumer electronics competitors.
