The game industry is not fine. How many companies are generating any profit? I can't think of many except for Nintendo, Activision and Zynga. I'm sure there are others, but I can think of more that are struggling.

revenue may be down but plenty of companies are making money. Square-Enix, Namco, Microsoft, EA, Capcom. Most of the big name companies are doing just fine, smaller companies are struggling but that's not a trait unique to this generation or the video game industry.

 

EA $391 million quarterly loss

SE $29.8 million profit 6 months (55% decline from previous year)

Namco Bandai $31.8 million loss last reported quarter

Ubisoft €52.0 million net loss 6 months

T2 $55.5 million loss

THQ $5.6 million quarterly loss

Activision $15 million quarterly profit

Gamestop $52 million quarter profit (down from $232 million prev year)

Konami $18.7 million quarterly profit (down from $65 million prev year)

 

Looks like a picture of health....

 

 

 

Good post. I'd just add that Activision's profit looks like it came mostly  (or all) from Blizzard.
