Well I don't know what profits and losses were on a quarterly basis over the numbers over the last 10 years are (all in millions $):
| Year | Nintendo | Sony | Microsoft |
| 1998 | 629 | 974 | |
| 1999 | 645 | 1,130 | |
| 2000 | 421 | 730 | |
| 2001 | 726 | (409) | |
| 2002 | 800 | 623 | (750) |
| 2003 | 560 | 939 | (1,191) |
| 2004 | 316 | 650 | (1,215) |
| 2005 | 777 | 404 | (485) |
| 2006 | 894 | 75 | (1,262) |
| 2007 | 1,489 | (1,969) | (1,892) |
| 2008 | 680 | (237) | |
| Total | 7,937 | 2,910 | (6,795) |
MS' figures I believe are of the entire division of which the Xbox is something like 70-90% of revenue and an indeterminate share of the losses since MS likes to hide it that way.
So yeah, everything that Bodhesatva has said I support. For whatever reason, Sony (and a lot of 3rd parties) have decided to play MS with out the deep pockets. We'll see how well that works for them. Also, way to run the discussion Bodhesatva
