either way profits are useless unless you own stock.
what you guys should care it's the games.

This is true in a direct sense, but there's an interesting thing with this generation: for the first time in a long time, each of the three consoles represents and has pinned its hopes on a very different vision of what gaming should be. Whether you're more a fan of Nintendo's fun entertainment, Microsoft's hormonal rush, or Sony's sensory extravaganza, there is no getting around this, and it's one of the reasons this generation is so polarizing. In gaming, as in most other industries, losing competitors tend to copy the winner. Thus, in a generation as polarizing as this one, many fans have a keen interest in how the different companies are doing, because whoever wins, their model stands to become more dominant in gaming generations to come. That is why people are so interested in profits: it's not so much about the companies themselves as it is about what they are doing with all that money, and what it means for future games.
