The industry was fine before M$ came in!

That's nice but you did not read the post you quoted. CMoney said that MS never had a penny of debt. The numbers you are quoting the Microsofts Entertainment Division. Even with those losses, the company still posted a profit over all. MS is not in debt. Sony is however. They took out an 800 million dollar loan shortly before the PS3's launch and have since sold their interest in the Cell, along with the it's manufacturing plants to Toshiba.

 

That's nice but you might wanna know what does the VG chartz means:

We are talking about  Nintendo, Sony Computer Entertaiment and Microsoft Gaming Division ONLY

(at least i think we do)
