because revenue is meaningless in the grand scheme of things
Damage control?
There are some pretty meaningful things you get out of revenue:
1) Revenue is perfect for comparisons between the 360 and the PS3 because dev costs for both platforms will be more or less equal (Ubisoft said porting from one to another cost 10% of the original dev costs)
2) Revenue tells us how much money customers are willing to spend and are spending on the different platforms. So its a good measure of platform importance.
3) Revenue is a good measure about the ressources a company puts into an area. Companies are not stupid after all.
So no definitely not meaningless.
