TWRoO, a 249$ Wii bundled with a game. And PS3 launched at 499/599$, that also a factor. =)

Hm. What does your sentence tell you? The GC made Ninty more money than PS2 made Sony. Nintendo packed the Wii with a game at $249, and Sony released a console at 500/600 at the same time.
The only factor I see is that Sony has lousy business sense and it has caused them to bleed profusely........ The console may have great games, but Sony has stockholders that need to see better than this. And THEY don't care about PS3/GC/XBox aligned launches. But they do care about and WILL control the future of Sony's gaming business if things don't change....

Have a link? If you don't I assume you are just picking your nose so I can add you to my ignore user list :).

It's been well documented both on this board and NeoGaf. There are multiple threads on both boards with yearly financial statements laid out side by side for all 3 companies from NES Era, to Sony's entry in the industry, to MS. A few of them have Sega's numbers in there as well, even though they are no longer in the console business, at least for now. I don't remember if PSX or n64 made more, but if find any of those threads, the numbers are there and factual, as the come direct from each companies financial statements. Please do look at the numbers, it's definitely eye opening.

As I stated, it is a false assumption.... Nintendo was more than the GameCube during those years.
I have managed a relatively well guessed breakdown of Sony's consoles and what they have made up to now (nearest half a $billion):
PS1 = $5-5.5 billion
PS2 = $3 billion (and climbing, but only very slowly... it won't reach $3.5)
PSP = $500 million (climbing now, though it was in the red 2 years back)
PS3 = -$7-7.5 billion (and falling... this is the big anomaly)
----------
The Nintendo consoles launched to close together to make an easy guess, but Nintendo only made ~ $4.5 billion during the GameCube years, but those years include the GBAdvance and the DS (and the last remnants of N64 and GB profit too, but that will be minimal)
