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

Then how can you say Nintendo success is good for industry ?

Nintendo success is good for Nintendo and that's about it.

Whether it rises or fall, it really doesn't look like it's taking anyone with it...

because, even if much of the industry collapses, Nintendo will keep on chugging along, not to mention, they drive much of the growth in the industry and come up with the disruptions needed to keep the industry healthy. The only reason others aren't coming along, is because they aren't trying, they release garbage, and then whine when Wii owners refuse to buy it

That still really doesn't answer my question.

Being good for an industry usually means you have an ecosystem in the industry that benefits from your success and the more you grow, the more all these companies working with you grow too....
