It's interesting but it is hard to measure the true profit success of the companies outside of Nintendo.
There's no question that Nintendo is doing an outstanding job of reeling in the profits but you have to remember that the other two companies are significantly larger than just their video game division.
For instance, for Sony, if the PS3 causes blu-ray to win... their increased profits will far outweigh the losses in the last few quarters. For Microsoft, if they keep sony from controlling the living room and can find a way to expand Live Anywhere, then the Xbox line will have paid off... far more than the costs they've incurred.
