| Ail said: Microsoft gaming profit looks like it is up ( games are mixed with HD Zune but overall the profit for that division was up almost 100%). Can't say for Sony yet, have to wait for their results....
You're mixing up stuff by the way. How is the fact that Nintendo is making a lot of profit good for the industry if very few others players benefit from it??? Show me the third parties reaping huge amount of money thanks to the Wii....( Wii software sales are flat so far this year in US, 360 and PS3 software sales are up ( 360 up 10%. PS3 up 20%)

Profits are still well below what Nintendo is making on the Wii, and unlike Nintendo, MS lost a ton of money on the Xbox and 360, long before making a profit, Sony is likely to make a loss. Other companies don't make a profit on the Wii, because they don't approach the Wii the way Nintendo does, they think they can dump anything on the Wii and make big sales, but that doesn't work out, that's not Nintendo's fault, but the third parties themselves
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
