Depends on your definition of "profitable". Are you talking about the hardware turning a profit? The console manufacturer? As a company? Or as a product line? Do you include software sales and licensing? Overall, the answer is an obvious "yes" - as the GC sold least units last gen, but Nintendo was most profitable (games divisions anyway).
