The above chart I have a hard time believeing is representation of 'software' as Halo 3 alone was a massively + source that put the entire MS gaming division (quarter 3, quarter 4, and 1st quarter 2008) in profit (as a matter of fact, Halo 3 has a significant positive impact on MS stock last year this time (along with Vista). Thus the only negative quarter would have been quarter 2 2007, and I think that was when MS put a $ 1 billion loss for the RRoD issue. MS gaming software has been significantly + and what has been keeping the gaming division afloat. I think the same applies to Sony as well, as Sony published software has sold well. Those numbers likely represent the entire gaming division of Sony (hardware), not just software.
