Microsoft's typical profit margin: around 30% (usually a few billion dollars every quarter i.e. every 3 months) Sony's typical profit margin: 1-5% (usually less than a billion dollar every quarter) Not only does Microsoft have much more profit in absolute terms, they also have a much more robust business structure. If their revenue decreases, they'll still be making big profits... If Sony's revenue decreases, they'll be breaking even or losing money (which is what the ongoing economic crisis will cause).

Yes, but in the gaming market alone M$ aren't exactly streaks ahead of Sony in Profits.
(PSP + PS2+ PS1 + Software Sales - PS3 losses is bound to be at least equal to Software sales + 360 Profits -Xbox losses)
