(A) Microsoft has been profiting on their XBox 360 for almost 2 years not. Why do you think 2008 shows a profit? They did lost $5 billion on the XBox, but (B)Sony has lossed more then that with the PS3. (C)Sony is also using their other divisions like electronics and movie to compensate for all their PS3 losses. This is the only reason you see profits in Sony's column. Their numbers are NOT Gaming Division only. They lossed billions with the PS2 their first 2yrs as well. So these numbers are probably not very accurate.

(A) Um, red until the last quarter is profit for 2 years?  Looks like I need to rethink my investments.

(B) Awesome.  This made me lol, and tipped me off that your ridiculous comments might be sarcasm.

(C) Using their electronics division to compensate for PS3 losses?  Lol, awesome.

 

This is sarcasm, right?  The scary thing is that some people would actually believe the bolded comments (I assume "almost 2 years not" means "almost 2 years now"... although it would be funny if you intended the typo), which is sad.

 

Actually that one is true.... they have lost $3 billion in the last couple of years, but that happens to include lots of PS2 profit, and PSP has been profitable for those years at least.... it is also possible that the poor year previously (only $70 ish million made) is due in part to the PS3.
